Vincent Jen Chin[1] (simplified Chinese: 陈果仁; traditional Chinese: 陳果仁
; pinyin: Chén Guǒrén; May 18, 1955 – June 23, 1982) was a Chinese
American beaten to death in June 1982, in the enclave of Highland Park,
Michigan, United States in Greater Detroit. The perpetrators were Chrysler
plant superintendent Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. The murder
generated public outrage over the lenient sentencing the two men originally
received in a plea bargain, as the attack, which included blows to the head
from a baseball bat, possessed many attributes consistent with hate crimes.
Many of the layoffs in Detroit's auto industry, including Nitz's in 1979,
had been due to the increasing market share of Japanese automakers, leading
to allegations that Chinese American Vincent Chin received racially charged
comments before his death.[2] The case became a rallying point for the Asian
American community, and Ebens and Nitz were put on trial for violating Chin
's civil rights. Because the subsequent Federal prosecution was a result of
public pressure from a coalition of many Asian ethnic organizations, Vincent
Chin's murder is often considered the beginning of a pan-ethnic Asian
American movement.[3]

On the night of June 19, 1982, a fight ensued at the Fancy Pants strip club
on Woodward Avenue in Highland Park where Chin was having his bachelor party
. The group was thrown out and after a heated exchange of words subsequently
parted ways. Ebens instigated the incident by declaring, "It's because of
you little motherfuckers that we're out of work!" referring to U.S. auto
manufacturing jobs being lost to Japan, despite the fact that Chin was not
Japanese.[2] Ebens and Nitz searched the neighborhood for 20 to 30 minutes
and even paid another man 20 dollars to help look for Chin,[4] before
finding him at a McDonald's restaurant. Chin tried to escape, but was held
by Nitz while Ebens repeatedly bludgeoned Chin with a baseball bat. Chin was
struck at least four times with the bat, including blows to the head. When
rushed to Henry Ford Hospital, he was unconscious and died after four days
in a coma, on June 23, 1982.

State criminal chargesRonald Ebens was arrested and taken into custody at
the scene of the murder by two off-duty police officers who had witnessed
the beating.[5] Ebens and Nitz were convicted in a county court for
manslaughter by Wayne County Circuit Judge Charles Kaufman, after a plea
bargain brought the charges down from second-degree murder. They served no
jail time, were given three years probation, fined $3,000 and ordered to pay
$780 in court costs. In a response letter to protests from American
Citizens for Justice, Kaufman said, "These weren't the kind of men you send
to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the
punishment fit the criminal."[6]
[edit] Federal civil rights chargesThe verdict angered the Asian American
community in the Detroit area and around the country.[7] Journalist Helen
Zia and lawyer Liza Cheuk May Chan (traditional Chinese: 陳綽薇; simplified
Chinese: 陈绰薇; pinyin: Chén Chuòwēi) led the fight for federal charges,
which resulted in the men being accused of two counts of violating Chin's
civil rights, under Section 245 of Title 18 of the United States Code. For
these charges, it was not enough that Ebens had injured Chin, but that "a
substantial motivating factor for the defendant's actions was Mr. Chin's
race, color, or national origin, and because Mr. Chin had been enjoying a
place of entertainment which serves the public." [8] Because of possible
mitigating factors that could lead to reasonable doubt, such as intoxication
leading to the defendant's inability to form the specific intent,[9] the
prosecution's proving the evidence of uttered racial slurs were not self-
sufficient for conviction.[10] In addition, the defense found Racine Colwell
, the witness who overheard the "It's because of you motherfuckers we're out
of work" remark, to have received some clemency on a jail sentence for a
prostitution charge, which suggested that the government may have tried to
cut a deal for her testimony.[11]
The 1984 federal civil rights case against the men found Ebens guilty of the
second count and sentenced him to 25 years in prison; Nitz was acquitted of
both counts. After an appeal, Ebens' conviction was overturned in 1986—a
federal appeals court found an attorney improperly coached prosecution
witnesses.[12]
After a retrial that was moved to Cincinnati, Ohio due to the publicity the
case had received in Detroit, a jury cleared Ebens of all charges in 1987.[
13]
[edit] Civil suitsA civil suit for the unlawful death of Vincent Chin was
settled out of court on March 23, 1987. Michael Nitz was ordered to pay $50,
000 in $30 weekly installments over the following 10 years. Ronald Ebens was
ordered to pay $1.5 million, at $200/month for the first two years and 25%
of his income or $200/month thereafter, whichever was greater. This
represented the projected loss of income from Vincent Chin's engineering
position, as well as Lily Chin's loss of Vincent's services as laborer and
driver. However, the estate of Vincent Chin would not be allowed to garnish
social security, disability, or Ebens' pension from Chrysler, nor could the
estate place a lien on Ebens' house.[1]
In November 1989, Ebens was forced to reappear in court for a creditor's
hearing, where he detailed his finances and reportedly pledged to make good
on his debt to the Chin estate.[14] However, in 1997,[15] the Chin estate
was forced to renew the civil suit, as it was allowed to do every ten years.
[1] With accrued interest and other charges, the adjusted total became $4,
683,653.89.[15]
Sometime after the murder, the Fancy Pants strip club was permanently closed
and subsequently torn down.[16]
