Forum on killing case of Jian Wan Chen by husband

Description

In the case of the murder of Jian Wan Chen at the hands of her husband, Dong Lu Chen, the latter was sentenced to five years' probation, setting a new precedent of so-called cultural defense. In this photo, Monona Yin of CAAAV speaks at a forum to discuss with the community how to navigate the criminal justice system's barriers specific to Asian women and the legal precedent of cultural defense. See Voice Fall 1989 for more on the forum, Voice Spring 1989 for CAAAV's initial response to the sentencing.
