Zitat des Tages über Freigesprochen / Acquitted:
It is better that a guilty man should not be brought to trial than that he should be acquitted.
As a freshman at Stanford University - a young black man - when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder, it was a joyful moment. I was happy, absolutely. It wasn't necessarily a matter of whether he was guilty or innocent, per se, it was a matter of finally seeing someone who looked like me have the justice system work in their favor.
This is his first punishment, that by the verdict of his own heart no guilty man is acquitted.
The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.
Before we condemn the jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman, we should remember that they were asked to do something extraordinary. They were asked to listen to the facts and apply the law to the best of their ability in a case the world was watching.
