They put him in prison even though the jury found him not guilty, though. They just did a bench trial where they found him guilty of possessing the gun he used to shoot Stevens.
The jury never talked to the media about why they reached the verdict they did. Maybe they believed there'd been a coerced confession. Maybe they believed the shooting met the standard for self-defense.
But it doesn't really matter, because our government expects juries to be rubber stamps, and when they don't do their rubber-stamping, the guy just gets thrown in prison anyway.
It was a civil rights violation. He was found not guilty of the crime, and they locked him up anyway. So much for having a justice system.
You didn't see any part of my post where I excused murder, because I'd never do that. The jury found that he was in fact not a murderer.
I can only imagine how you'd feel if you were cleared of murder charges by a jury of your peers and the government threw you in a cage anyway. But, of course, you don't want a justice system. You just want a system of letting one category of people do whatever the fuck they want and locking the other categories of people in cages.

Another day, another post by this guy excusing subhuman evil behavior.
I can only guess that you didn't bother reading my post.
I read all of it, especially the part where you bemoan that he got put in jail anyway and tried to frame it as a civil rights violation.
