Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow, in custody following his arrest in the Leland Yee corruption probe, is asking a judge to release him from prison on bail, reports KTVU (photo from Facebook).
The head of the Chee Kung Tong, a fraternal organization in Chinatown which police say has a criminal faction, says he’s turned his life around.
“Chow is a rare example of accountability and non-violence in modern-day San Francisco,” his attorney Tony Serra wrote in a court filing.
“Throughout the last decade Chow has tirelessly used his past mistakes to help the San Francisco community to be a safer place,” said Serra.
Serra contends Chow has been a changed man since serving a prison sentence earlier in his life.
