Anyone with half a brain knows they are guilty and there's video too prove it but how can anyone believe the 14 year olds death wasn't caused by him being beaten by them? I guess that's what happens in the south they turn the other cheek and even when there's video to prove it they go back to their ignorant ways or maybe the jury was blinded with racism. Whatever it was all the jury members should go out of the world like that 14 year old kid beaten and broken! Our jury system is pathetic!

I must say that I agree with you. To watch a video of a 14 year old boy being manhandled by 7 grown men and 1 female nurse just standing there watching like it is a boxing match, and to still find these people innocent is ridiculous. The jury had other options to convict them on, and still did not do it. The attorney for the young man's family said it best "You hurt an animal, you go to jail. You kill a little black boy, you go home."

The jury was all White, the victim was Black - nobody cares about Black victims, least of all Black people, themselves. It's up to Black people to take charge of their own destiny and begin refusing to submit to the ongoing injustice in America perpetrated against them (including especially by fellow Blacks) at every level of our society

Why were there no people of colour on that jury?
It seems that racial bias is still alive & well in the USA.

Absolutely beyond belief. Add it to the list of abominations.
