This tim the federal government is trying to prove, not that they killed h.in-an admitted fac ut that they kiUed Chin because he was Chinese. Specifically, U. . pt. of Justice attorneys must persuade a jury that th two defendants violated Chin's civil rights as tlley conspired to " threaten, intimidate and assault VincentChin because of his race and national origin and because he had been enjoying the accommodation of the Fancy Pants Lounge, a place of entertainment open to the public." Conviction carries a maximlDll sentence of life imprisonment. Jury Ie tiOD Jury lection began June 5 and was expected to continue through at I st eight or nine days. Th trial itself is expected to last for about two weeks and d liberation another week.
