The BBC came calling for an interview and so the international media circus has began. As an international student at San Jose State University, Phuong Ho has become a center of media attention for his unfortunate run-in with 4 San Jose City policemen in his dorm. He was allegedly beaten with batons and Taser gun while laying on the floor and handcuffed.
Undoubtly the Vietnamese Consulate will involve at one point or another to protect its citizen, especially one that has his human rights violated. Today, his lawyer, Nguyen Hoang Duyen, had an interview with an international human rights group and had file a civil rights complain. Nguyen is an associate dean of Lincoln Law School. This is a small private law school. The school's faculty includes - Ash Kalra (ex-public defender and currenlty San Jose city councilmember), three superior court judges including Barrett Thang Nguyen and one of the well known criminal lawyers in California - Guyton Jinkerson.
LSI is not a betting person and do not know enough about the law but it is a safe bet to say that the DA office will not proceed with a trial and that the police officers will not be charged with anything.
Asian Law Alliance will have a townhall meeting with representatives of community groups this Wednesday at 2:00 PM (at their headquarters) on the issue of police excessive use of force as well as civil rights of minorities in San Jose.
