I have known the Mesherle clan for 50+ years - two brothers and a sister (J's father, uncle & aunt). To this day we all spend time together. All of us went to the same school, hung out together and resided down the street from one another.
There was never any denial among the entire family as to the circumstances and or the trial outcome. Johannes's father gets very incensed when Grant's family speaks of coming back for a second settlement from TPTB.
There is no evidence that Johannes Mehserle had any animus or predisposition to brutalize any minority or other resident of the San Francisco Bay area.
There is no evidence that Johannes Mehserle had a Bad or Negative Attitude toward his position or the BART Police.
There were several verified Reports and Complaints regarding the roving band of black Youth's aggressive Disorderly Conduct on the BART train that Mehserle responded to.
SF Bay Area Democrats are responsible for Grant's death far more than Mehserle, as they groomed Grant and his cohorts to engage in that kind of behavior.
