They’re just looking for a longer sentence to pander to the African American base.
They wouldn’t have done diddley if they found him guilty of murder.
One is the dropping of the civil rights case where white voters were intimidated. By itself, it might merely have been an eye raiser, since the DOJ has option on which cases to prosecute or not prosecute.
However, DOJ Attorney Julie Fernandez is reported to have stated that minorities will NOT be prosecuted for offenses against whites, no matter what they do to whites.
This needs exploring in depth, and Julie Fernandez needs to be subpoenaed for depositions for the next 50 years.
Any Attorney with a white client who is being prosecuted by the DOJ should raise the charge of racial profiling. And any Attorney who has already had a white client convicted by the DOJ should consider appealing the conviction on that basis also, and DEMAND the stats with a comparison of the number of cases where a hate crime against whites was alleged, and the number of cases actually prosecuted.
With this administration, nullification is a definite strategy. Anyone sitting on a Federal Jury might now wonder if the white person being prosecuted is a victim of racial profiling.
As an aside, my opinion is that a huge number of white people are attacked BECAUSE they are white, and the Federal prosecutions of their attackers are probably minuscule.
