[edit] Discussion

Racial make up in a jury is extremely important when race played a important role in the crime commited. I guess, "cold blood" can only be define when it's not done by white people during defense. Just remember, better be judge by 12 then carry by six, may it be by a jury of white people. -cy

The link is dead on the first reference. I don't know what to do about that, if anything. - nonbonumest

Is the racial makeup of the jury really relevant? Vang shot and killed six people in cold blood. That's murder one no matter who was on the jury (also, given the racial makeup of Ramsey County, an all-white jury is pretty much a given). Iceberg3k 20:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Racial makeup being added is fine. Due to the racial tension and general race issues the media has brought up, this adds some more racial info into the article. --nn

Also, removed "Saiga SKS" and just calling it a "Saiga rifle". The rifle he used was clearly not an SKS, but is a hunting rifle from Yugoslavia that chambers the same round. Media has been misinforming us about the rifle being an SKS. I had added the serial number of the gun. --nn

[edit] HIS CHINESE NAME

So who translated his name into chinese? its missing a character. (unsigned comment)

Why put Chinese characters for his name at all? The Hmong do not use Chinese. He is not Chinese. Get rid of the misapplied Chinese name. It would make a little more sense to write it in Laotion or Thai, but it's still silly.

[edit] Clarification

"No shell casing was ever recovered from Willer's gun even though during the trial Hesebeck admitted to firing a single shot. Hesebeck testified no shot was ever fired."

these two sentences contradict each other. (unsigned comment)

They do indeed. I came here with the same question. Huh? Shenme 06:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current Event?

Should this page have the 'Current Event' template? It seems that as of now (January 2007) nothing in this article is really a current event anymore. Blackeagle 18:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iowa State Pen?

The article ought to explain why he's in prison in Iowa, since he was convicted of violating Wisconsin state law. Pha telegrapher 18:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
