""Because of the "cast of characters," people are trying to turn a tragedy into a movie script. But life isn't the movies. That's one reason we have jury trials.""

Then why isn't he on bail awaiting a jury trial which would either convict or clear him?

The authorities have closed ranks to protect him. If he is innocent, why does he need that protection?

You can't talk about jury trial when the killer (and there is no doubt he killed) isn't even arrested, no forensic evidence is collected, and no check for alcohol or drugs.

What we have here is a dead black child and an armed white man still alive. America shrugs its shoulders.

Not much has changed since Kennedy and King.
