Prosecutorial Misconduct, or Do They Just Not Give A Shit?

Prosecutorial Misconduct, or Do They Just Not Give A Shit?
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national...-1.2997956

Quote:Black N.J. teen killed in vicious hit-and-run — and white driver with long criminal record gets probation

Quote:Over and over again, the American justice system teaches us that it has very little value for black lives. We yell "black lives matter" by the millions because everything about the arc of this nation tells us they don't. Of all the ugliness and brutality against black bodies that I've waded through and dissected over the past few years, it'd be hard to say any of them were a bigger kick in the gut than what I'm about to tell you. Now, a family that has already had their loved one snatched from them is suffering yet another unthinkable indignity.

Jesus Christ, her license had been suspended 39 times? What the flying fuck?

Quote:The outcome has caused outrage, even for Hyland's own mother — who wrote a letter this month to protest the weak sentence.

You know it's bad when even the criminal's mom is like, "this is bullshit."
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Very Sad..... I would have no leniency for her.

Although I wouldn't have made it a racial issue, I don't see drug addiction as any excuse or reason for special treatment.

Race isn't a factor in every issue.

It seems, however, that this case is another in a long line where individuals get off lightly because of the race of the victim.

If the driver had been black, I would still be demanding a harsh sentence.
Dying to live, living to die.

So you think negligence resulting in the death of a human merits only probation?

There was a case here in my town about 5 years or so ago where some girl ran a red light and took out TWO people, and got only a year's probation. No criminal charges were filed. Talk about outrage. No drugs involved, young driver PROBABLY texting, but it was not proved. I don't know what came from any civil trial, if there was one...which should have been the case. This shit goes on everywhere. The victims were white in this case, BTW.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
