This was a difficult one, he was defiantly guilty of inflicting harm on George, but there was no way they could have found him innocent of anything at the end of the trial, everyone was fearful of riots, if you were on the jury would you want to be responsible for creating further problems. I don’t know why they are calling for a longer sentence……..did he set out that day to kill George , no…….He was doing what he had probably done so many times before, like many officers. it was wrong and needed to be addressed but also the whole issue of why officers were able to do that for so long and get away with it needs to be dealt with.
@kcnalp ….do you honestly believe that this man hasn’t done some soul searching since he was arrested, he was a man who had got away with so much and used his power , when that is stripped away it’s a
amazing what God can do.
The Lord has laid him on my heart to pray for ……….and his family.
