After listening to her interview with Anderson Cooper, I don't think she understands that seeing "one of 'them' walking through the neighborhood" is profiling. And just because someone has a good heart does not allow him to get away with murder because he just "carried it too far, but I'm sure he's learned his lesson now" (that is paraphrased but if you saw the interview you got the gist.)

When Alex was deployed to the Middle East for a year, a young guy I worked with drove me to and from work every day. Jawan was in his 20's, black, tatts all over, low hanging pants and loved rap music. He was also the kindest person around. If you looked at his tattoos, they were all biblical scripture. He didn't drink, smoke, or swear. You simply can't judge people you don't know.Linda Medranohttp://thegoodthebadtheworse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342305364866425774.post-5917105702035066782013-07-16T07:11:33.815-07:002013-07-16T07:11:33.815-07:00I'm with you on this one.

To me, it seems that the prosecutor screwed the pooch by overreaching with the a 2nd-degree murder charge that couldn't be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
