Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Verdict Protested in Crown Heights Case
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
More than 5,000 people rallied in a highly emotional, racially charged protest of a not-guilty verdict for a black teen-ager in the stabbing death of a young Australian rabbinical scholar. The rally was staged in Crown Heights, a neighborhood shared by blacks and Hasidic Jews. It was rocked by race riots in the summer of 1991 over the accidental killing of a Guyanese child by a Hasidic driver.
