A moving company was about to arrange a flat (actually a basement located below ground) when they bumped into a man brutally beaten to death. The victim is a Chinese family man, who owned a take-away in the neighborhood. As you may imagine, he was a workaholic, working 15 hours a day, seven days a week. The apartment was actually vacant, so detectives reckon maybe a homeless (John Heffernan) was the one who placed the order, an old tramp used to sleep nearby. Even if he had nothing to do with the murder, he helped detectives by pointing out a bunch of kids used to hang around in the empty flat. These kids, all Caucasian and all coming from average income family, used the apartment for having fun (smoking weed, drinking booze and so on). One night they were hungry but with no money in the pocket, so they placed the order well aware they couldn't pay. The argument against the delivery man went bad: was it manslaughter? or was the perp willing to cause the victim's death?
Legal system want to pursue the victim ignoring the racial contest: why a crack addict is easy convicted after the crime while an educated white man can get away with everything he had done? Anyway trying to put him in a death row is too much for me.
