There is not much to say here, except the following:
1. We predicted this verdict, and think it was a fair one for the reasons stated in our prior post (scroll down to the comments).
2. We do not believe that Mehserle intended to shoot the victim, but we cannot have police officers running around who react to stress by grabbing a gun instead of a taser either—which is criminal negligence.
3. We do not believe that this case was ever about race and there is no evidence to the contrary--including any prior racial animus on Mehserle's part.
That is all.
