    Re: That Florida verdict in 2013 had a supporter on the New Zealand left. Archived Message

    Sad to note that I also made the mistake juror B-37 did and mispelled Trayvon's name in the title.

    She was a piece of work and came out with some very worrying statements. How she got through voir dire is a mystery.

    AS for the Ahmaud Arbery case there is definitely some media attention building and the Governor of GA has already started making noises that mean "justice better get on this". At the very least the two lynching pricks might get arrested. The latest position of the authorities seems to be that they can't convene a Grand Jury until June or July due to Covid 19 restrictions but they don't actually NEED to take it to one; they can bring charges NOW.

    I think if a white guy had run into a black neighbourhood, been pursued by two black guys in a truck with guns and was chased down and shot dead by them, there may have been the suggestion of police action by now. Shiiiiiiiiit, in Georgia he'd have been on Death Row by now.
