It has just been announced on the news that there are moves afoot to have the case re-tried by the Federal Court - rightly so. It has been long established without doubt that people of the 'wrong colour' are unlikely to receive a fair hearing in certain parts of the US - as shown by the Rodney King beating and the fact that the 'Death Rows' of America are predominantly populated by 'blacks' - or maybe it's just true that Afro-Americans are just 'culturally implanted' killers and natural criminals!!
Interesting but far from surprising to see the usual suspect defending a verdict which is obviously flawed.
