A white guy who murdered a young DREAMer girl in San Francisco would have fried.
Following this case I knew it was not murder but had no doubt as to manslaughter - unbelievable verdict. I moved out of that cesspool two years ago and have had to go back for business, it is a dark, filthy place, with more natural beauty than anywhere I have seen.
