Preface
In 2010, a "tragic incident" occurred in the United States, in which a Chinese female student was dragged away on the street in the United States and harmed.
In the end, the girl lost her life, and the murderer was only sentenced to 22 years, which caused a big sensation for a while, what happened to it?
A Chinese female student was killed on the street in the United States
Back in May 2010, it was early in the morning in New York, because the girl was rushed to the hospital, this girl was Yao Yu, a Chinese student, when the doctor checked the girl's injuries, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The girl's body was covered with scarlet blood, her clothes were very messy, and even her skull was severely deformed, which shocked the doctors at the time, and the situation was already very serious.
Yao Yu was quickly sent to the intensive care unit, a young Chinese student lying in the intensive care unit in a foreign country, his body was full of elaborate tubes, and his seriously injured head was also wrapped in gauze, in the face of such a serious injury, 23-year-old Yao Yu lay on the hospital bed and survived.
With such a serious injury, it is already very difficult to survive, and in such a situation, Yao Yu rushed to the scene as soon as his mother arrived, watching his daughter's precious life pass by little by little.
Yao Yu's mother was also very painful, and did not understand why this situation occurred? There was no choice but to call the police to deal with it, and under the investigation of the police, the man who committed the murder was found through surveillance.
And Yao Yu's mother also sent the murderer to court, and after the murderer was caught, the whole incident was completely restored.
What happened
Yao Yu originally lived in Heilongjiang, but her parents borrowed money to study abroad in order to make her study better, and Yao Yu herself also has a certain plan for her future career, she wants to be a lawyer.
It's just that this dream has not been realized, so she left, in fact, when the accident happened, Yao Yu had just arrived in the United States, and he was sensible in order to reduce the burden on his parents.
After working part-time after studying, and after another part-time job, because of walking home alone, you must know that the United States is not like China, and young Chinese women will encounter all kinds of dangers when they walk alone in the middle of the night.
As a colleague international student, Zhang, and Yao Yu also work together, and when he learned that Yao Yu was going home alone, he also expressed great worry and reminded Yao Yu to pay attention to safety.
Just as Yao Yu arrived at his destination by bus, an accident happened, a strange white man suddenly stopped Yao Yu, and he could smell a very strong smell of alcohol, judging from his body alone, the man was very strong.
Not only that, his words and eyes were very obscene, constantly teasing Yao Yu, faced with such a situation, Yao Yu refused very simply, and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
It's just that I didn't expect the man to grab Yao Yu and keep dragging her, you must know that this is on the street in the United States, and there are many pedestrians around.
In the face of an unexpected situation, Yao Yu also called for help to the people around him, but he didn't expect that no one would lend a helping hand, so Yao Yu began to choose to save himself.
Constantly blocking the sturdy man with his body, and at the same time did not give up calling for help, but he was soon dragged into the dim alley, which faced such a chaotic situation, Yao Yu grabbed what he could defend at hand to block.
It's just that it didn't play any purpose, but was taken down by the man and beaten with an iron rod, and the man in white kept knocking on Yao Yu's head until Yao Yu had no way to resist, and then launched a bestiality against Yao Yu, which is why Yao Yu's clothes were messy when he was sent to the hospital, and his head was attacked and his face was covered with blood.
The man's verdict sparked outrage
When the police entered the investigation, it was discovered that the man's name was Cruise, a Mexican descent, and before that, he had also been charged with "sexual assault", and in 2010, a large part of the reason for his violence against Yao Yu was because of a bad mood.
After divorcing his wife, he went to the bar to buy drunk, and after getting drunk, he saw Yao Yu walking alone on the street, at first Cruise just wanted to invite Yao Yu to go on a date, but he didn't expect his frivolous attitude to be rejected by Yao Yu.
Then he was even more angry and beat Yao Yu, when the murderer Cruise was arrested, he was even an accomplice to passers-by, and if it wasn't for their business, he wouldn't easily drag Yao Yu into the dark alley.
From the beginning of the entanglement to the drag into the dark alley, and even the subsequent invasion that lasted for more than an hour, no one stopped it for such a long time, and this situation also caused quite a stir at the time.
And Yao Yu finally stopped breathing because of his injuries, and he was such a murderer who committed evil deeds, but the final verdict was very shocking, and he was only sentenced to 22 years in prison.
The verdict shocked many people, and such a young life was gone, but the murderer did not get the punishment he deserved.
This result was unacceptable to many, especially many Chinese students, who gathered to protest the unfairness, but the judge said that under American law, only the most heinous people can be sentenced to death.
The 22-year prison sentence is already relatively serious, and the murderer Cruise's statement in court is simply ingenious, he has always insisted that he is acting in self-defense, and if Yao Yu did not resist, it would not have caused such a result.
Many people may think that the United States is a country full of freedom, but their security problems are also worrying, and cases like this are the best example.
summary
Yao Yu's mother did not give up, and after many appeals were unsuccessful, such a verdict completely chilled the hearts of many international students, for those who have not been harmed, with such a thing to do at the beginning, then who will be hurt in the future?
And this kind of thing is not an isolated case, didn't the sensational Zhang Yingying case also happen in the United States? A fresh young life has disappeared, and behind it are countless broken families.
