> Justice demanded for boy fatally shot in car
美国加州奥克兰市上百人抗议要求司法公正

Hundreds of people gathered at the Alameda County Courthouse in Oakland, California on Monday to demand District Attorney Pamela Price bring justice to the three men charged in the death of Jasper Wu, a Chinese-American boy.
当地时间4月10日，上百名各界人士聚集在美国加州阿拉米达郡法院门口，要求地区检察官帕梅拉•普莱斯秉公执法，严惩杀害华裔男童Jasper Wu的三名凶犯。

On Nov 6, 2021, Wu's mother was driving home with her family. When she was on the highway, she was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout. Jasper, who was just shy of his second birthday, was killed by a stray bullet.
据悉2021年11月6日Wu的妈妈驱车带着家人回家，在途径高速公路时突然遭遇帮派枪战，车上不满2岁的Wu被帮派的流弹击中身亡。

Three men - Trevor Green, Ivory Bivens, and Johnny Jackson - were charged by former Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley with offenses including murder and shooting at an occupied vehicle.
三名嫌犯---特雷弗•格林、艾弗里•比文斯和约翰尼•杰克逊被前阿拉米达郡地方检察官南希•奥马利起诉，罪名包括谋杀、向有人的车辆开枪等等。

Price, who took office in January, has issued instructions to her colleagues to sentence people convicted of felonies more lightly and to reduce the number of combined sentences.
新当选的地区检察官普莱斯今年1月上任，成为阿拉米达郡史上第一位黑人地区检察官，她上任后着手推进“进步”司法改革，并向她的同事们发出指示，要求对被判重罪的人从轻判处，并减少数罪并罚等，引发外界的极大担忧。

Protesters expressed concern the suspects in Wu's killing will be treated leniently, although Price has announced she has not made any decisions about what charges to pursue.
尽管普莱斯称她还没有决定要追究凶手什么罪名，但抗议者担心凶犯会被宽大处理。
