Fixed.
White people are simply in a much better position of manipulating the system to their advantage in any legal situation. They have money, they have connections, they better understand the sham of a legal system we have and how to use it to their advantage.
A white person killing a white person is going to have a much tougher time.
This case didn't even look like it would go trial, until there was pressure from those who saw this as a racial crime. I'd call that "manipulating system."
Would that be the case if a 17 year old white boy had been shot at point blank range? I don't think so. That was part of the foot dragging because Trayvon being black meant he got less attention.
It damn well deserved a trial from the beginning.
If the racial roles were reversed it should not have gone to trial either. Whether it would have is speculation.
There is problem of racial, social and economic judicial inequity in this country, but using this trial as an example is hugely misguided and does not point to the real issues.
