Black woman, Atatiana Jefferson murdered by cac cop in her own home (FOUND GUILTY)

[Contrefaire]

I hate that. It's an immature way of thinking that our community has. Sitting on a jury is one of the ways we get justice for our ppl. We're always eager to do things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things and we don't do the things that could really make a difference.

I feel you but unless and until jury duty pays a reasonable daily rate and/or employers are FORCED to fully compensate this shyt will continue. Even here in "liberal California: employers aren't required to pay for lost wages due to a jury summons. The vast majority of potential jurors are more concerned with paying their bills and keeping their jobs than being a part of granting "justice" to random victims. And rightfully so.

This isn't just an issue with "our" community BTW. Not wanting to lose wages just to potentially be a juror for a flimsy DUI trial is a fairly universal mentality.

Yeah they deliberated for 7hrs today before being sequestered. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Verdict is in

Manslaughter

This whole case was a sham.

Hopefully they give him the full 20. But he could also get the minimum of 2 years(which probably won't happen)

Apparently they were torn between murder and manslaughter. It was definitely murder but it's better than nothing and more than what I suspected given the racial makeup of the jury.

All of those redneck hicks in places like Weatherford, Burleson, White Settlement, HEB, Southlake, etc need to be burned to death.

Manslaughter makes sense. He was reckless and a coward...not calculating as if he planned it. I would have pushed for murder but

Needs the full 20 though.

Manslaughter is an unintended death.

He said on the stand that he intended to kill her.

So, that's by definition is not Manslaughter.

True....but these ARE white people on the jury. I feel like they sympathized with the white dude and didn't want him going on the long ride but knew he had to go to jail for SOMETHING.

The years will tell us how the jury was split.

If he gets 15+, that probably means they were waffling between murder and manslaughter.

If he gets 5 years, they were probably waffling between acquittal and manslaughter/lesser charge

Hopefully the DOJ come thru and give him time as well for violating her civil rights.

Merrick bout to hit him with the civil rights violation

Those Ft Worth suburbs are much more racist than the Dallas suburbs. I'm actually surprised by this verdict.
