So, to cut to the chase, you'd prefer I simply accept your version of events and your interpretation of those events without question or counter argument. Perhaps you don't understand the concept of debate - that seems reasonable since you didn't understand the point I was making in my original post and your interpretation of my views has gone downhill ever since.
No, but my 'interpretation' is based on the facts in evidence, as detailed in the various accounts. I'm willing to consider alternative evidence, but you haven't provided any and neither did CB. For example, what is the evidence that the delays were caused by defense counsel, or that the defendant had any input into those delays if any? None, zero, has been presented. There is ample evidence the vast majority of the delays were caused by the prosecution claiming it wasn't ready to proceed - at least 11 requests, over a period of years, for a case that basically entirely hinged in the testimony of the victim.
What is the argument for allowing a requested "one week" delay that stretches to 12 actual weeks of actual delay to count only ONE week against the six month time limit. No one has even tried to defend that legal peculiarity.
What is the argument for the notion that his case is an example of the justice system actually working as it should? I don't, cannot possibly, believe that if he was your child, that you'd be satisfied that waiting three years for a trial that never came, for a crime your son maintained from second ONE through his death he didn't commit, is justice for your child.
What evidence is there that besides being poor the family failed him during his detention or after his release? I've seen NONE presented. The story says his mother visited weekly, did his laundry, provided money, obtained psychiatric care after his release.
Is there any evidence of mental problems before detention. If not, and I've seen none, why is it a stretch to conclude his suicide attempt while in jail, and multiple attempts after release, is related to his detention?
Perhaps you'd be better off if you simply expressed your own views and counter arguments and stopped trying to misinterpret other posters' thoughts and words to suit your agenda and/or straw men you'd like to attack.
If I misinterpreted you, I apologize, but given several opportunities to admit that the video tells us really nothing about "blacks" in America, you refused. No video, or incidents in Ferguson or Chicago, support broad generalizations about 42 million unique black individuals, rich and poor, old and young, male and female, inner city, rural, that run the gamut of personal characteristics.
Please feel free to respond, but I'm done engaging with you on this subject.
Fine.
