I couldn't understand how those jurors could not grasp how all the inconsistencies, the comments

39. I appreciate the passion and the search for answers.

Thanks Maraya for your thoughtful examination. Maybe I'm getting too old, but this nightmare seems like deja vu. The "what ifs" and the "if onlys" tend to accompany an obvious miscarriage of justice like this. In this case it's exacerbated by the polarized society we coexist in today.

What if the Constitution granted freedom and full rights to every American from the get-go? If only Lincoln weren't assassinated? Or John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr? Imagine this country with a proper system of schools which puts value in poor children's education as well as a rich child's. Or, when the day comes that drug possession is decriminalized, prisons may not be such horribly overcrowded places to stash our people and many fewer Americans will be felons for doing something that harms nobody but themselves.

So many "What ifs".
