In 1854, the Supreme Court of California decided the infamous case of
People v. Hall, which reversed the murder conviction of George W. Hall,

Chinese. One legal scholar called the decision the worst statutory interpretation
case in history. Another described it as containing some of the most offensive
racial rhetoric to be found in the annals of California appellate jurisprudence.
