Ex-UCI Bio Major Sentenced

Irvine -- In an exclusive report, KUCI radio's "Subversity" program will 
air today the hearing at which former UCI student Dan Hoang's motion for 
a new trial was rejected and he was sentenced.

Hoang, convicted of attempted murder counts last year in a shooting 
incident in Alton Square in 1994, maintains he deserves a new trial.  He 
did not shoot anyone in the incident in which a passenger ended up 
shooting two people.

KUCI has been following Hoang's case from the beginning.  The defense 
charges prosecutorial misconduct, wrong rulings from the bench and 
incompetent counsel by a former defense attorney.

At the trial, the prosecutor made reference to his UCI student status and 
the fact that many Asians graduate with honors from UCI when she insisted 
Hoang was the "Al Capone" of the AKP gang.  Hoang, on a previous 
Subversity interview from OC Jail, has denied any gang membership.

Subversity airs each Tuesday from 5-6 p.m. on KUCI, 88.9 fm.  Listeners 
can call the show at (714) 824-KUCI.  Subversity is on the web at 
.
