"Beating death of a black motorist?" That's rather generous to the motorist, one Mr.
Malice Green. I'm not saying people driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol who resist arrest and try to take an officer's gun
deserve a few taps on the head, but they're not really in a position to complain.
"She won second-degree murder convictions against the officers?" The conviction didn't even stick in one case, and the other went to the state supreme court before it stuck. (That officer was let out anyway to get treated for lung cancer.) Not exactly an epic win.
Neither conviction stuck. They were both eventually convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
What a travesty. I’d never even heard of this case before.
They showed the jury the movie MALCOLM X repeatedly during their deliberations? And told them that they were preparing for riots if they didn’t convict?
And men spent time in jail on this?
We give millions to Goddamned crooks who happen to be innocent (or at least not verifiably guility) of some crime, but these men get harassed by that?
