I agree. Both Jessie and Al would be insane to touch this one. There's nothing in it for them. The racial victim/killer relationship goes the wrong way, and there are no ambiguities which they can exploit and distort to muddy the waters and gain more power.

Mother who left baby boy pleads; she's to get help
March 9, 2002
Shaniqua Betty, whose infant son was beaten to death in August by the stranger she handed him to at a Detroit bus stop, pleaded no contest Friday to fourth-degree child abuse.
During a fight with her boyfriend at 1 a.m. Aug. 3, Betty grabbed her 3-month-old son, Isaiah, from the bathtub, wrapped him in a towel and fled into the hot night air. She met Harold Reed, 49, in a bus shelter at Woodward Avenue and State Fair.
Reed, a convicted pedophile from Pittsburgh, befriended the woman and convinced Betty she could safely leave the baby with him while she returned to her boyfriend's house to retrieve her purse and shoes.
When Betty returned less than 20 minutes later, Reed and her baby were gone.
After television stations broadcast a convenience store videotape showing Reed with the baby that night, Reed's family identified him as the suspect. Police arrested Reed, and he confessed before leading police to an abandoned home where the child's body was found under a mattress.
Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan also charged Betty with criminal child abuse, a charge that was condemned by the Detroit branch of the NAACP and others. Duggan said he wanted to send a message to parents and get help for Betty, who had a history of abuse as a child.
It seems that these "civil rights" groups see it as their mission to defend any low-life scum that happen to be a member of their race.
I expect them to weigh in on Mallard's "victimization" at any time.
