Look, this is a positive (for justice) result. The crime was covered up by two different prosecutors (both removed after an outcry). The video, which ultimately lead to the arrest, was hid from the public for months, and it was leaked - not released by the police. The attack by 3 white men on a single black jogger brought angst to those wanting justice. Their defense of "self defense" seemed less spurious after the release of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The guilty verdicts restored some sense of equality and justice in our system (at lest some of mine). So let us celebrate it, while acknowledging there is still work to do.
It made my day.
