I just had to say a word about a murder trial going on in our area. The case was the rape and murder of a student at Eastern Michigan University which happened some time ago.
The university totally blew it by hiding it and letting the suspect go. When the story finally came out, there was a big hubbub and heads rolled.
Anyway, they finally brought the dude to trial and presented the evidence. The victim was a pretty, young blond girl and the rapist murdered a young black guy who was not even a current student. The crime occurred in the girl’s dorm room.
The evidence had videos of him entering the dorm and leaving the dorm with some of the girl’s Christmas presents. The girl was found half nude with a pillow over her head. The guy’s (Orange Taylor III) semen was found on her clothes.
The defense maintained that yes, Orange Taylor was in her room but found her dead and masturbated on her clothes, stole her Christmas presents and left. The defense did admit that he was high on marijuana.
One juror, a black woman, caused a mistrial because she could not convict him since she had reasonable doubt. She felt the girl died of a heart attack.
And this is why I get so upset when black writers howl about injustices committed against blacks like in the Jena 6 case but dismiss injustice against whites (O.J., Duke) and the present case.
How can the parents of this innocent girl, going to college with a bright future but murdered by some drugged up asshole find justice when they see that justice is denied by a racist juror.
Yes, the tables have turned from the old days where whites were the racist jurors BUT TODAY I maintain that we cannot tolerate injustice PERIOD but it is obvious racism still exists and is practiced on both sids of the fence.
