Honorable Kenneth Thompson Brooklyn District Attorney's Office 350 Jay Street, 16th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201 RE: People v. Peter Liang Indictment No. 9988/2014 Dear Honorable Thompson, I am very disappointed that your office decided to indict Office Peter Liang, a young Chinese American officer who really wanted to serve our community. While Officer Wenjian Liu was killed in the line of duty, Officer Liang was indicted because of an accidental shooting. I believe that his conviction was unjust and I do not believe that the charge of reckless manslaughter is supported by any reasonable view of the evidence submitted at trial. Likewise, the conviction of official misconduct is unsupported by the evidence. I respectfully ask that your office would reconsider the position and will stipulate to Liang's Motion to Set Aside the illogical verdict handed down by the jury. If your office will not agree to set aside the verdict, I respectfully ask that you sentence Police Officer Peter Liang to probation. Institutional confinement of Police Officer Peter Liang is not necessary for the protection of the public. A prison sentence would be inconsistent with the ends of justice. It would send the wrong message to our Asian American community. Respectfully submitted, Coalition of Asian-Americans For Civil Rights |
