He beat his own face against their fists.

Wasn’t this attack on video?

Not that it matters when half the jury is on the other side already

[Clint N. Suhks]

This is BS. Did they stack the jury?

[Crazieman]

Its a shame Gladney didn’t have the means to ventilate them

[freedumb2003]

The Anthony Jury was doing double duty?

[Colonel_Flagg]

But hey, the system worked. </ s>

[EyeGuy]

Yet another indictment of the diseased jury system, and this one in my own backyard.

We met and had a long conversation with Kenneth at a TEA Party in Albany, NY.

He’s a very nice fellow and he deserves better than this.

[Fred Hayek]

This case thus establishes the precedent:
Physical violence is a valid form of political expression.
Note that this precedent only applies to far left Democrats and Marxists.

2012 will be an extremely violent year. I hope I am wrong, but it looks inevitable.

Can we scream RACISM????

[101voodoo]

Can’t the Judge overturn the Jury if there is compelling evidence such as video?

Does anyone have the actual Jury findings? Was the video shown in court to the Jury? Where the attackers identifiable in the video (I think they admitted to administering the beating anyway)?

If they did admit to beating the plaintiff, what can the mitigating circumstances possibly be in this case?

Amy legal types here?

“Sigh”......this isn't right. Oh, I'm suppose to respect the jury's decision...

[pogo101]

Although I absolutely think “they did it,” here is why I think the jury found reasonable doubt:

Basically, he (seems to me to have) “milked it.” He took some punches, and that’s a crime, BUT he didn’t appear to take such a beating as to need a WHEELCHAIR. (I could be wrong, but that was my sense at the time: Jeeze, dude, what was done to you was wrong 1000 times, but your LEGS weren’t injured??)

JMO, YMMV.

Any one surprised??

Sue them personally. You get more money anyway.

Any one surprised?? Rats will be rats.

[freekitty]

This one needs to be investigated.

Sue them personally. You get more money anyway.

I wonder what jury duty pays in St. Louis, and how much less you get for the wrong verdict.

[truthkeeper]

I can't wait to see everyone jump on this thread and tell us, yet again, how beautifully our system "worked."

[smokingfrog]

Uncle Tom can’t get no justice.
