Isn't the guy who shot Smith(Saints player) in jail, stating the same thing....while the investigation is going on? I think thats what the issue is for many in that area.
Each situation is unique. In the Will Smith instance, I believe there's video of the shooter repeatedly ramming Will Smith's car. Will Smith also had a gun in his car (which may have been involved). Also, I believe the two men knew each other.
Regardless of the underlying sentiment some here are trying to stir up, police departments, prosecutors, the justice department, etc don't have a secret cabal to let people who commit murder walk. Many many people work very hard to put murderers (of any color) in jail.
This incident happened a few days ago. Let's let the process play itself out.
Comparing it to any other case is not relevant. What matters are the facts in this case. Let the people who are experts in this area figure it out. Remember, there are smart lawyers on each side...
