There's no logic in your statement. Just a bunch of disjointed assumptions. The "inept PD" (a black guy if that matters to you) is inept because he didn't call any witnesses. You have failed to comment on the fact that several here consider that to be (given the facts of the case) a decent strategy for the defense. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that a defense attorney calling no witnesses is not per se ineffective (and that was in a murder trial I believe). Calling no witnesses, relying on a vigorous cross (if possible) and a good close is actually not a bad strategy at all given the facts of this case.

And before the first trial, as the facts clearly point out, the charges were reduced to conspiracy (do do something, I don't know what which was later dropped by the judge) and 2nd degree aggravated assault. 80 years wasn't ever really on the table once the trial started. I believe the maximum sentence from what I have read is 22 years.



I imagine if my grandfather had survived being beaten to death (with shoes, maybe gloves) he could tell you what that sort of an "asswhupping" would be like.



Have you been there? Again, it appears you are projecting your racial persecution fantasy onto this community.

Well I would like to meet your gandfather...oops you said that asswhuping killed him...otherwise you get no sympathy from me sir...I have seen it one too many times already.

I'd ask you to meet Emmitt Till and his mama but....alas...they are gone too and the people that killed Mr Till walked...

Amadu Diallo got filled with lead...yet the cops that killed him walk the streets.

I once saw a man killed in Lexingtom Mkt by cops because he was having a mental breakdown and all he had was a box cutter.....6+ cops made sure that he got 6feet under....the most horrific thing I have seen in my 30+ years here.

fantasy huh...I guess that means you are slightly hurt over what I have said today....

get over it.
