Anger. Random shots. Kills a young boy. Stupid. Now he will never
leave prison. He will die there. It's a mandated sentence.
I have said before that I oppose mandated sentences .. for drugs and for this. Crime is crime and punishment is punishment. Yet.. do you support this?
Let me offer this, if this had been an absolutely colorblind trial.. no one knows nothing about nobody who is or ain't. Just stick figures as victims and on trial. Facts of the event without identity. Does this happen? IF we are trying to get equal justice is this equal? If the assumption is that a black man on trial for murder is automatically assumed guilty (I know that sentiment exists, I hear it a lot) is there a quid pro quo, tit for tat, we'll make amends by making this token of our "equality"?

I don't think he should walk... BUT it was not even close to first
degree murder. The prosecutor and the grand jury were wrong.
Premeditation is the requirement for First. This was a crime of
impulse, anger... not directed towards anyone. Like the man who shoots
into a crowd if a fit of anger. The person killed is just as dead.
Yet it is not first degree.
IF Zimmerman killing Martin never had been the backdrop to this case.. the outcome would be different. That I am certain of. This is out of kilter. IF I were a lawyer I might take a shot at getting this overturned.. appeal is all over this thing. Here is what first degree murder is and this isn't first degree.. Justice is NOT served. http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/first-degree-murder-overview.html
