But that's the thing, though; a guy got convicted of what's technically an erroneous charge, because The Powers That be knew that it was the only way to keep those "peaceful protestors" from burning Minneapolis to the ground.
What the F*CK does THAT say? "We know what's Right, but we have to do what's Wrong so that certain people don't throw a fit"?
That's not "Justice". "Justice" would be, you convict on manslaughter and let that be "good enough". "Nah, those illiterate chucklef*cks with the bricks and tiki torches aren't gonna have the patience for nuance and distinction; it's 'murder' or we're all in serious trouble." Except he wasn't guilty of murder.
OJ walked because of "reasonable doubt". Even though no, there wasn't. Because The Powers-That-Be knew what would happen if they convicted him. "We gotta let him walk, Or Else." Same thing in reverse. "It's the wrong charge, and we have Maxine out here telling people to riot if the verdict isn't exactly what they want... but we can't rule a mistrial, and we can't settle for manslaughter. HAS to be murder... Or Else."
Things really, REALLY shouldn't be this way.
