堪萨斯枪击案：杀害印度技术专家斯里尼瓦的美国人被判终身监禁

WASHINGTON: A US Navy veteran who killed Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla in a racially motivated hate crime at a bar in Kansas City last year has been sentenced to life in prison.

华盛顿：去年，一名美国海军退伍军人在堪萨斯城的一家酒吧因种族仇恨，杀害了印度工程师斯里尼瓦·库奇布热拉，被判处终身监禁。

In March this year, Adam Purinton, 52, had pleaded guilty to the charges of murdering Kuchibhotla.

今年3月，52岁的亚当·普林顿对其谋杀库奇布热拉的指控认罪伏法。

He was charged with first-degree murder of Kuchibhotla, 32, and two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the shootings of his friend, Alok Madasani, and a bystander, who chased Purinton after he fled the Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe city on February 22 last year.

他被指控犯下一项一级谋杀罪，杀害32岁的库奇布热拉，以及两项一级谋杀未遂罪，朝他的朋友阿洛克马达萨尼和一名围观者开枪，去年2月22日普林顿在奥拉西市杀人后逃离奥斯汀的酒吧和烧烤店，这名围观者试图追捕普林顿。

Purinton, yelled, "Get out of my country," before shooting Kuchibhotla, who later died from injuries sustained in the attack.

普里顿大声喊着，“滚出我的国家”，向库奇布热拉开枪，导致其随后因伤势过重不治身亡。

A federal judge in Kansas yesterday sentenced Purinton to life in prison for the first-degree murder of Kuchibhotla and 165 months imprisonment for each of the other two murder charges.

昨天，堪萨斯州的一名联邦法官判处普里顿终身监禁，罪名是对库奇布热拉犯下的一级谋杀罪，另外还对他犯下的另外两项谋杀指控分别判处165个月的监禁。

Kuchibhotla is survived by his wife Sunayana Dumala, who welcomed the court's decision.

库奇布热拉的妻子苏娜亚娜杜马拉对法院的判决表示欢迎。

"Today's sentencing in the murder of my husband will not bring back my Srinu, but it sends a strong message that hate is never acceptable," Dumala said in a statement.

杜马拉在一份声明中说：“尽管今天对杀害我丈夫的凶手的判决无法让斯里尼瓦死而复生，但它传达了一个强有力的信息，那就是仇恨永远不被世人接纳。”

"I want to thank the District Attorney's office and the Olathe police for their efforts to bring this man to justice," she said.

她说：“我要感谢地方检察官办公室和奥拉西的警察们为把这个人绳之以法所付出的努力。”

Our illustrious supreme court would have taken over 10 years to deliver the verdict. The judges need their samosa and chai breaks, and they are busy legislating.

我们的最高法院得花上10年的时间才能做出裁决。法官们需要休息，吃点咖喱角、喝点奶茶，他们一直忙着立法。

That is a swift decision. Indian judiciary and government should learn reforms for early decisions in pending cases

这个判决太神速了。印度的司法部门和政府学习学习、改革一番，对未判决的案件尽早判决。

That is what we call a justice system. Fast and right. Indians will never learn or understand.

这才是司法系统嘛。又快有准确。印度人永远学不会、不理解。

Difference between Indian and US justice. US life sentence is real, not India

这是印度和美国司法的区别。美国无期徒刑是来真的，印度的才不是呢。
