Asian American woman Francis Choy spent 17 years in prison for killing her parents in a Massachusetts house fire in 2003. Now, Choy is going free.<br />According to Newser, it's partly because of racist emails about her sent by prosecutors of her case.<br />The judge said the pair exchanged 'racially and sexually offensive emails' that degraded and mocked Choy and her 16-year-old nephew.<br />Today, the evidence seems to strongly implicate Choy's nephew, who fled to Hong Kong before the trial, and was later acquitted in the case.<br />It has been a tough and long journey. I'm relieved that the truth has been revealed and to have my life back beyond prison walls. Francis Choy
