She charged murder 1 and I'm happy she did. We got a more diverse jury than if she had lowered the charges and got stuck with a 6 person jury like with Zimmerman. She ain't the best but she ain't the worst either. She works in a former slave state, and it's hard to navigate the mentality of some people who can't let go of the past.
