As in ALL things; FOLLOW THE MONEY.
This farce of a Show Trial, is to cater to Blacks to show that they are Protected, even when they are thugs, malcontents, and living off others (whitey). It has NOTHING to do with Justice (already put $100's of thousands in the parents pockets, when some ambulance-chaser extorted a Settlement from the Development Owners, to avoid having black mobs burn it to the ground like in LA after the Rodney King circus).
NO BLACKS were ever Prosecuted when they burned down that neighborhood, or beat up Koreans and Whites.....Reginald Denny got hammered and went to Court for a mock trial, and wound up being told to just forget about it and go home.
Few whites have EVER been successful in Racism cases against Blacks, and, there are no Deep Pockets to empty in the Black Community.
Interesting that the trial is starting now right on time for Riot Season.
I think that the current administration is trying to tear the country apart and this is the lever.
It also will take attention away from the more serious issues : like the IRS, the NSA, the lousy economy,
This is just diversion,
