I can look at it from completely another perspective. Patricide and matricide have been regarded one of the most heinous crimes, under the old criminal code, though it was revised after 1945, the punishment for this crime was only two -capital punishment or a life imprisonment, now this was revised because it was thought to be somehow questionable in the optimum principle of equilibrium under the law.
But still this is a serious crime. I think this ought to be more severely punished. Her parents have never imagined being even hurt from their kid. They are not protecting against attack by their kid. They trust their kid always. And also it is very true that under the Asian custom children always have to respect their parents, this is a teaching of Confucious and this thought is widely rooted every nook and crany throughout Asian continent, especially China, Taiwan, Korea.
I don't think this case ought to have something to do with her ethnicity, but it still remains the possibility that the judge took it into consideration if he knew its East Asian tradition.
