Update: Man arrested!
I seriously think the bond should have been higher. It took them more than a week to put this man behind bars, and on top of that, that very same day that he got arrested, he was out that afternoon. WTF! This is just BS right now. You can totally see that this is an excuse so that the Hmong community and even the public won’t rwar in their faces! Ugh, so disgusted!

Scott Osborn, 29, was booked on a complaint of aggravated assault and battery. He bonded out of jail Thursday afternoon.
Osborn is accused of running over Neng Yang after Yang said he accidentally ran over and killed Osborn’s dog.
Yang said he apologized and offered to pay for the dog, but Osborn knocked him out. Yang said he was covered in blood and suffered shattered cheeks and nose and two broken ribs.
Osborn told deputies he was afraid Yang was going to hit him so he punched first.
Osborn is expected to go to court next Wednesday, March 16th, 2011.
The judicial/criminal system in America sucks. There are so many laws protecting the rights of perpetrators. This is because you’re innocent until proven guilty. It takes an enormous amount of time to gather enough evidence to have a case against the perp. And even then, prosecutors have to prove without a doubt that the defendant have done what they are accused of doing. I know this is to protect everyone’s rights, but when you’re a victim, sometimes, these laws prevent you from getting justice.
Agree. There’s so many holes in the law that anything can pass through. Sometimes you wish change will do something but instead it changes into a deeper place.
