The civil rights charges were filed only after the state courts didn't convict. I'd rather see this remain a state case and be tried in state courts unless it becomes clear that justice isn't going to be done there.
I agree. Although there is some delicious potential irony there, if we get to see somebody pandering to the NAACP race pimps get taken down by the very same laws they like to use as a bludgeon against so many other people.
