The officer is clearly innocent. The system is rigged and the local "community leaders" are threatening riots.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Oh, boy.

[soycd]

Just in time. The Dindus are getting low on looted supplies.

Baltimore to pay Freddie Gray's family $6.4 million to settle civil claims

[JoSixChip]

Just in time for Christmas shopping? A little too coincidental for me.

If they can’t get a decision here, they damn sure aren’t going to get anything out of the rest.

[EternalVigilance]

There are some juries that should be hung.

/s

[Responsibility2nd]

Deadlocked; a conviction for; or an acquittal. NO matter.

Time to loot the CVS. Need more toilet paper.

[Scirparius]

Wow, nice of them to send out the “Riot now!” cue before the jury has even reached a verdict.

[Truth29]

I wonder if some jurors have received messages that they had better vote guilty or they will suffer the consequences? Or alternatively, if they are from the hood, they know that they cannot go home if there is a not guilty verdict?

[lurk]

Prosecution has to prove that the police involved(some black) engaged in intentional harm that caused the death of the man in their custody.

There’s no way they are going to get a jury to buy it. This is a show trial.

[ozzymandus]

Doesn’t look good when your show trial goes awry.

The nearest Nike store is 14 miles away, so it’s safe.

Which begs the question. Is Nike racist for not putting a store right in the inner city where a significant portion of the customer base is located, or just smart?

[Starstruck]

They asked the judge to clarify his jury instructions and he refused. I was on a jury where we started to question the jury instructions. We asked a specific question of the judge and received a clarification on something that wasn’t in the instructions. After the trial the judge came in to talk with us. We asked why what we wanted to know wasn’t in the instructions. He explained that the instructions were prepared by him and the lawyers and that info was purposely left out. He also said when we specially asked he was free to give it.

hmmm...... were there any Amish

Time for a beer summit!

The officer is clearly innocent. The system is rigged and the local “community leaders” are threatening riots.

...

So is one person holding out for guilt or is one person holding out for not guilty?

[AlphaOneAlpha]

And, from what I read, this cop was the one that the prosecutors thought they could turn and incriminate the others which is why the tried him first and singularly.

[Vigilanteman]

Yep. This is code for they think he is innocent, but don’t want to be responsible for a riot if they deliver a non-PC verdict. It is much better to just deadlock and pass the responsibility off to a different jury.

[Right2BareArms]

Not guilty:

“A black man was killed and we demand JUSTICE!”

Guilty:

“A black man was unjustly convicted and we demand JUSTICE!”

Either way, someone’s going to get some sweet kicks for Christmas.
