JOGGING WHILE BLACK

[rothschild]

It was leaked online and it was then that it was brought to the attention of the world. Had it not been for that happening I doubt this case would have went anywhere given the initial response of the DA.

If you'd read the report I linked you'd know that he recused himself of his own volition.

As if he wouldn’t have been kicked off the case anyway. 

Back pedal much, RC? The law as written was ambiguous (and dated…as you said previously without some caveat for the grammatically challenged) and therefore open to some interpretation by the judge when he instructed the jury. Just because you don’t like the way it turned out for your buddies doesn’t change the facts. Good luck with that appeal! It’s not going to be successful.

Since you bring up his instructions to the jury, please do us all the favor of quoting his precise interpretation of the statute as to whether it applied to both misdemeanors and felonies, or only felonies. And I'll again point out that our system of law always interprets ambiguity in favor of defendants, for the obvious reason that it is the states that make the law.

I find it amazing how people who know next to nothing about our legal system nevertheless have very strong opinions re "justice". Seems to me that if a person is truly concerned with justice, they'd take it upon themselves to learn how it functions, so they'd have some ideas as to how it could be improved. But mobs don't care about justice, only blood vengeance; which, ironically enough, is it's antithesis.
