WE GOT THE VERDICT- HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY.

An all Euro-American jury, save for one African American convicted the 3 white murders for the slaughtering of a black man

In a state with a deep and ugly history of racism
By a defensive that played all the race card
By a former prosecutor who failed to prosecute the murders initially and he appears to be an ally of the now convicted murders.

I say our hope for America as a racially plural democracy in the Trump white nationalist era has been given a massive boost.

Tell that a John Wingrove Brathwaite family, who was put to death by a black jury, for a crime he never committed.

long road to travel. Appeals upon appeals to come but this one says a lot in a state where lynchings still happen in the dark. Georgia has come a long way from Lester Maddox declaring his Gubernatorial Campaign was based on two things Roads n Ni...ers, and said 'I'm for the former and against the latter' He won!

In my opinion, your assessment Wittingly or Unwittingly is
wrong. You failed to take into consideration, the White man
who killed 3 Black persons and was adjudged Not Guilty,by the
Jurors in his Case recently .

My belief is that if he was a Black man with a Rifle patrolling he would have been Dead almost instantaneously .
I am reminded of a well known phrase
" One Swallow does not make a Summer "

That's all, but the road to travel is still long and uncertain
