Youll Never Believe The Excuse This Mother Gave For Her Sons Murder Recently, the family of a Chinese man who died after being beaten in an unprovoked attack in New York City, has asked the court to treat the murder as a hate crime. Our whole family is in severe and deep pain, Michelle Ruan, the daughter of victim Wen Hui Ruan, told reporters. The family made the statement just before Jamie Pugh, the accused murderer, was ordered to be held without bail at his arraignment. He is facing murder, assault, and robbery charges. And his case doesnt look good. In fact, the entire attack was captured on surveillance video. Ruan is shown being thrown against a wall and getting kicked repeatedly in the head. Ruan, 68, died at the hospital the day after the attack, after suffering from a fractured skull and face. Although the evidence speaks loud and clear, the mother of the attacker decided to stand up for her son at the hearing, claiming that her son is not like that. Theres significant evidence in this case, Assistant District Attorney Shawn McMahon claimed, in opposition to Pugh-Douglas rebuttal. Not the least of which being the video which was quite frankly one of the most horrific acts Ive ever seen.
