The correct verdict was given (#4463)

      Guilty 3 times on the 3 counts. Good verdict. Now I expect after the lawyers are done with their advice on sentencing that the murderer will get at least 30 years, without possibility of parole. He should end his life in prison if he survives the culture within those walls or not. There can be no exception to extreme punishment when it comes to unlawfully killing a citizen under the color of law. When we establish a baseline of punishment that is rock solid and a severe hardship for any perpetrator, we will then have made this type of behavior most difficult to do going into the future.
     The suffering the black race has had to endure in the United States of America is the real tragedy of our nation's heritage. For 402 years we the white race have had our actual and metaphorical knee on the neck of the black race and it must stop now! All steps ready to be taken must be made. There is no excuse for not ending the practice of legal and social prejudice. Logic tells us that all races of human beings are equal in existence. There is no reason for any law to exist that doesn't raise the value of all life to an equal footing. Our policing and criminal justice systems are rife with inequities aimed at bias and prejudice for not only persons of color but of people who are not wealthy.
     The gaming of democracy by those who would have advantage and privilege while promoting classism must end. Our laws can be written in ways that eliminate loopholes for those who are wealthy and powerful and don't want to stand for charges that you and I must stand for. There cannot be equal differing routes to justice when factors such as wealth and color are involved. There must only be one route to justice which is a route that all must take without any detours or obstructions. When we all feel the duty to obey our laws is when all of us will be better off. Because as long as the few privileged and advantaged keep getting away with law breaking the rest of us remain highly unsettled, vulnerable, and angry.
