I went there for the trial and I'd go into restaurants with Park and people would get up and leave. I called the defense lawyer, who happened to be a pretty good friend of mine, and said, "What do you think a Monroe, Louisiana, jury is going to think of Tongsun Park?" He said, I don't know. I was taken aback. What do you mean you don't know? You've tried a million cases here. "I don't think they've ever seen a Korean before," he said.<br>​

I thought the prosecution presented a pretty good case. But when the defense attorney got up to cross-examine Tongsun Park, he carried a big map of Korea. He didn't even touch the merits of the case. He identified South Korea and noted that it's right under [[North Korea]] and next to [[China]]. Then he pointed out that North Korea and China are [[totalitarian]] communist states. The jury was out less than 90 minutes, and they [sic] acquitted Passman on every charge.<ref>''Louisiana History,'' p. 342.</ref></blockquote>​
