    As we saw with the old man who shot a Black teenager for ringing his doorbell, acquittal is not assured. The old man got a mistrial, not acquittal, but the point is that he hasn’t yet been held accountable. That makes me a sad panda.

      Yeah mistrial would also do it. Yeah this is unfortunately a thing based on how our justice system works, people can fall through the cracks. In theory though assuming “all goes well” he’ll have his rights stripped.
