If you're gonna hang the guy hang him for something you can prove. Four jailbirds testifying to something doesn't prove anything other than that some police official got four jailbirds to say something.
The point is, better qualified people to speak on the issue (like those at KNowGangs,) have said that there is FAR more than that--like that the shotgun used was one he had PURCHASED.
Again, he wasn't convicted solely on that basis and 'four jailbirds' is kind of a distortion when you compare it to all his friends and accomplices implicating him. It's not like they didn't have evidence of THEIR involvement.
An AP story reporting the claim of the founder of the Crips and the article never even reports the other side of the debate.
You sure seem to trust the unbiased MSM.
Founding the crips outta be grounds enough to roast marshmallows over his frying corpse IMHO.
