Terrific synopsis of the real history of our system & the pattern that sadly repeats. Until we own up to it, speak out, & vote to change it, it'll keep happening periodically, in some places.
Sadly, from what I'm reading & seeing from credible news sources, it's not only in the US but globally. Most importantly-- it MUST be taught. Thank you, Michelle.
White jury. This child never had a chance. He shouldn’t have been charged as an adult. I grieve for both families. No child should be dead, no child should be spending 35 years in prison. The system has failed our children. But most of all the system has failed our black children.
We do know Anthony killed his fellow teen. We do not know what exactly preceded it. Apparently no one but Anthony does but it was something from both . Such a sad loss really of two lives. I just wonder why the jury did not even consider as they could have the "passion" part of the law and give him a lighter sentence. Police officers you have quoted do and it seems like we need to rethink our laws and how they are carried out.

My heart is so sad. An all
