一名女性的同事因毒害她而被定罪,她正在公开帮助抓获他的隐藏摄像头视频,就在该同事请求法官撤销其重罪定罪之际。

A woman whose coworker was convicted of poisoning her is releasing the hidden-camera video that helped catch him, just as he asks a judge to dismiss his felony conviction.

据检方称,大卫·徐(David Xu)曾在加州伯克利工程与研究公司(Berkeley Engineering and Research)担任高级材料工程师,他在2017年至2019年期间,长达一年多的时间里,用有毒重金属镉毒害了同事荣媛(Rong Yuan)的食物和饮用水。

According to prosecutors, David Xu, who previously worked as a senior materials engineer at Berkeley Engineering and Research in California, poisoned the food and water of colleague Rong Yuan with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, for more than a year, spanning 2017 to 2019.

检方指控徐蓄意谋杀未遂以及两项重罪毒害罪,但根据《旧金山标准报》(San Francisco Standard)的报道,他接受了认罪协议,仅承认一项毒害罪,并接受一年缓刑。在徐2024年的量刑听证会上,法官将其缓刑延长至两年,并称该协议“考虑到案件的全部情况,极为宽大”。荣媛发布的视频似乎显示徐正在向她的水瓶中倒入某种物质,而此时徐正准备请求阿拉米达县法官周一撤销其重罪定罪。

While Xu's charges included premeditated attempted murder and two felony counts of poisoning, he was offered a plea deal of one count of poisoning and one year of probation, to which he pleaded no contest, according to the San Francisco Standard. During Xu's sentencing hearing in 2024, the judge made his probation two years and called the deal "extremely generous, considering everything in this case." Yuan released video that appears to show Xu pouring a substance into her water bottle as Xu was set to ask an Alameda County judge to dismiss the felony conviction on Monday.

尽管地方检察官办公室反对徐撤销重罪的请求,但加州法律要求法官在被告符合缓刑条件的情况下必须批准该请求。

While the district attorney's office has objected to Xu's request for the dismissal of his felony, California law requires judges to grant the request as long as the defendant meets the conditions of his probation.

荣媛向《旧金山标准报》透露,她公开隐藏摄像头视频是她对她认为已经辜负她的司法制度的“最后手段”。

Yuan told the Standard that releasing the hidden-camera video was her "last resort" to a legal system she believes has failed her.

她于2017年1月被伯克利工程与研究公司雇佣,并回忆称她与徐的第一次见面非常紧张,她声称徐告诉她不能使用该公司的材料表征实验室。

She was hired by Berkeley Engineering and Research in January 2017 and recalled her first encounter with Xu was tense, claiming he told her that she couldn't use the firm's material characterization lab.

“我刚决定我绝不再与他有任何交集,”她在互动结束后说道,“我只会做好我的工作,而他想做什么就做什么。”

"I just decided I will never overlap with him," she said after the interaction.

据袁(Yuan)称,在几周的时间里,她开始感到干呕和脱发等症状。这些症状在2017年7月升级,当时她醒来后喝了几口水瓶里的水,她说:“我开始觉得自己快要死了。”关注福克斯真实犯罪团队() 到2018年年底,在多次去医院之后,她在2018年11月27日发了一封电子邮件,称自己正在呕吐,不会去办公室了。

"I’ll just simply do my work, and he can do whatever he wants." Over a few weeks' time, according to Yuan, she began feeling symptoms such as dry heaving and hair loss. The symptoms escalated in July 2017 when she woke up and took a few sips from her water bottle, and she said, "I began to feel like I was dying."

By late 2018, after going to the hospital repeatedly, she sent an email on Nov. 27, 2018, saying she was throwing up and wouldn't be coming to the office." You should work from home until you feel better. No reason to rush in," Xu responded. "I think BEAR is moldy." Yuan had a similar feeling after drinking from her desk water bottle in January 2019, recalling "I’m going to die." Her mother drank from the water bottle and realized there was a sour taste, sparking suspicions her water was being tampered with. She then ordered a spy camera off Amazon.

2019年2月11日,袁将摄像头放在办公桌上,上午11点04分,可以看到许伸手去够她水瓶所在的区域。

Yuan placed the camera on her desk on Feb. 11, 2019, and Xu could be seen at 11:04 a.m. reaching for the area where her water bottle was.

“我的血都凝固了,”袁在看完视频后说道。“我差点死掉。我经历死亡是如此、如此之近,经历了那么多次。我不能放过他。”不久之后,她将视频交给了伯克利警察局(Berkeley Police Department)。

"My blood was frozen," Yuan said after watching the video. "I almost died. I experienced death so, so close so many times. I cannot let him go." She turned over the video to the Berkeley Police Department shortly after.

许于3月份完成了缓刑。虽然他正在请求撤销定罪,但该案仍将保留在他的案底中。
