Asian Americans React to Alabama Mistrial #AfterSeptember11 - NBC News

my article for NBC News Asian America re Asian American response to Alabama Indian Grandpa mistrial and decision not to prosecute attack against Chicago Sikh American father as hate crime #AfterSeptember11
"SAALT is deeply disappointed by the mistrial declared in the trial of former Officer Eric Parker, who is accused of the brutal beating of Mr. Sureshbhai Patel in Madison, Alabama," Suman Raghunathan, Executive Director of South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) told NBC News. "Mr. Patel remains partially paralyzed as a result of his interaction with Officer Parker, and is still in need of extensive medical care in a rehabilitation facility. Mr. Patel's right to justice remains a dream painfully deferred."
