United States v. Lee (2000)
Do You Know? One of Wen Ho Lee's hobbies is fishing in the mountains of New Mexico.
What: The United States sued Lee, accusing him of leaking classified files to China.
Decision: Lee was imprisoned for over two hundred days and was finally declared innocent. A federal judge apologized to Lee for denying him bail and for putting him in solitary confinement.
Today: All cases are to be analyzed to see whether or not the suspect is a victim of racial profiling.
