| | BLACK MENAGERIE: INNOCENT MAN VICTIM OF ANTI-ARAB FEAR |
 | | Five-month-old Sangita Persad, the daughter of Riviera Beach, Fla. native Antoinette and her Trinidadian-native husband Vishnu, could be 44 years old before she really gets to know her father, who will be nearly 70 by the time he finishes the 43-year sentence he received in Palm Beach County's first successfully prosecuted "road rage" case. |
 | | Others are saying that Persad, because he looks like he could be an Arab, is a victim of the post-Sept. 11 hysteria that was sweeping the nation and Palm Beach County during his trial, at the height of the anthrax terror here. |
 | | Another state witness, Gene Pullen, who testified that he was the closest witness to the driver the night of March 2, 2000, identified another person, not Persad, from the exact same photographic lineup that J.D. had picked Persad from. |
