Justice for Danny Chen

19-yer-old private Danny Chen was found dead with a bullet wound to his head after he was subjected to repeated incidents of racial taunting, humiliation and hazing by six superiors. the first of the five charged with negligent homicide was just court martialed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. and found guilty of assault and battery and two counts of maltreatment for subjecting Private Chen to racial slurs and for dragging Private Chen on his back over 40 yards of gravel. The military jury sentenced him to 30 days in jail, $1,181 in fines and demoted him one level from a sergeant to a specialist. that sounds like the sentence you would get for jumping the turnstile at the subway or some petty thing like that.
