I am not a conspiracy
theorist (well maybe I am,) but it seems to me that of the six defendants, the
Baltimore police officer that was picked to be tried first was the least
likely to be convicted.
Here we have
a black man being tried for the death of a black man – less controversial than
a white officer, so less chance of sparking violent demonstrations… I don’t
know – I’m just asking?
Of the six
defendants there was a white Lieutenant and a black female sergeant present at
the time; so why try the lowly patrolman first?
Maybe I'm wrong...

They wanted to use this guy to testify against the rest and if he had been convicted he wouldn't be able to use the Fifth.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to convict someone for not doing something when everyone in the dept. is not doing it, even tho dept. policy states they should do it.
I suspect you're absolutely right, OB.
ReplyDeleteprobably right on this.
