I read the whole article and other sources
Three key points
It was a racial lynching pretty much
The woman who said they referred to needing to go “get” a black man changed her story repeatedly and Jones was not on the base the day she said he said that
There were police reports after they were in custody of a car with white men in it driving though some project displaying firearms and making raicially based threats
The victim was shit with an AK Round
did they have an AK OR SKS on them at time of arrest or were they found with such ammo?
25 is a long but
“The victim was shit with an AK Round...”
That seems harsh to me.
