NYC sucker punch attack suspect’s lawyer alleges ‘character assassination’ as victim’s brother sobs in court

The lawyer for New York City’s sucker punch attack suspect alleged at a hearing Tuesday that his client’s been subjected to "character assassination" by the media, as the brother of the victim left in a coma following the unprovoked beating from the sex offender parolee sobbed in the courtroom.

Bui Van Phu, a 55-year-old homeless convicted sex offender, was led into the Bronx courtroom in handcuffs, where the defendant kept his head down.

The Vietnamese immigrant, reportedly a member of a street gang, was arrested for the brutal Aug. 12 Bronx attack on 52-year-old Jesus Cortes.

The NYPD recommended an attempted murder charge, but Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark’s downgraded the charges, and Bui was released on no bail under the state’s controversial bail reform law backed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Public outcry ensued over Bui’s release, and Hochul intervened, leading to the suspect being re-arrested for allegedly violating the terms of his lifetime parole. He’s been held at Rikers Island since. Clark’s prosecutors made no indication Tuesday on whether they’ll upgrade the charges against Bui.

“immigrant” means illegal alien. Since he’s in New York, he will never be deported and his election ballot will be sent to him in prison. /spit

Mr. Phu does not look Vietnamese. He looks like the result of miscegenation between a black serviceman and a Vietnamese.

At minimum the suspect should be kept in a cage until dead.

#NewYorkStateofAnarchy…

Kueen Kathy and her predecessor, Prince Andrew, really screwed up this state with the able assistance of Warren Wilhelm Jr. and his grifter concubine Chirlane McCray. The illustrious “Tish” James, the AG, indicts Steve Bannon when Chirlane can’t account for $850 Million Taxpayer Dollars from her “mental health initiative..”

Vote from his cell....

During one of the Leftist pushes to get NY inmates the right to vote, an interviewed con said (smiling) “You have to admit that my being able to vote in here for Democrats is something that will benefit me.” (not made up or satire).

Just so you know, the “sucker punch” used by Bui Van Phu
is a devastating kung fu strile , usually referred to as a “crane strike.” It can be a killing blow, and if the police and DOJ were in the know, it is evidence of intent to murder. maim or injure permanently.

For greater clarity, I refer you to this video of a Kung Fu crane strike in the Choy Li Fut style:

He was born in 1967. That would match the timeline of lots of black G.I.s in Vietnam.

In which case, his father is a U.S. citizen, one whose ancestors might have been here since the 1600s. So he's not an immigrant.
