According to <A target="_blank" href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/06/17/china.killing/" linkindex="27"><I>CNN</I></A>, Deng was released because she acted in self-defense, surrendered to police, and had limited criminal responsibility due to manic depression.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The ruling may reflect widespread public support for Deng, reported the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6513750.ece" linkindex="28"><I>Times Online</I></A>. According to the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/world/asia/17china.html?scp=1&sq=Deng%20Yujiao&st=cse" linkindex="29"><I>New York Times</I></A>, she received an outpouring of support online, despite the Chinese government’s attempts to quell communication about the incident.</DIV>

On May 10, Deng, who was working in a karaoke and leisure center, was approached by two officials who demanded sex, reported the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/may/27/china-bails-deng-yujiao" linkindex="30"><I>Guardian</I></A>. While defending herself, she stabbed and killed one of the men and injured the other.                        </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1E6E1170-BFF3-4281-B4B6-EA51A5D794FF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
