Then they said fuck it, lets charge him and let the lawyers deal with it. Maybe they can make a case of it. If not maybe John Q public will calm down about it by the time it comes to trial.
Well, that's all I have been trying to say since early on.
I don't know if he's innocent or not, don't really care. But I know the locals who were going to try him wanted a grand jury to decide if charges were warranted. Then the state stepped in - because they had nothing better to do apparently and it had nothing whatsoever to do with racial politics -and took over the case.
Imagine that! A grand jury wasn't to be trusted to decide if charges were warranted... but they ARE trusted to deliver a verdict in this trial.
How weirdly ironic.
