Given the testimony and the fact that the judge denied the defense's motion to acquit, here's a simple poll.
 
SNL recently had a cold opening skit about this. 4 newscasters were talking about the case, two white and two black, and while all four agreed he was guilty and deserved conviction, the two white people thought this can only lead to a guilty verdict but the two black people skeptically say "Uh huh... Let's just say we've seen this movie before!"

If I were in Vegas ready to put my life savings on a bet, the statistically safe bet would be although dead to rights guilty, he gets away with it because rarely if ever in America are cops ultimately held responsible for their actions. It's a ****ing miracle he was even charged and that happened only because there was video and lots of public outrage.

Don't count on justice in America.

I'd change that to say..."Don't count on equal justice in America".
