There should be. There won't be.

One of the single biggest mismanaged cases of all time. She charges correctly, she likely gets a couple of convictions. She overreached on a massive scale and she isn't going to get a thing.

It's also a good reminder that things are not always as easy as the media makes it appear. These officers didn't get off because they were white (all of them weren't white). They didn't get off because they were rich. They didn't get off because of some massive coverup (if anything the prosecution were the ones covering up things in this series of trials and got their hand slapped for it more than once.)

Fact is, this wasn't a "simple" case of the cops killing a black man because they could.

It was a complicated case with doubt from the start.
