Most people are just starting to pay attention to Amy. She's been scrutinized less than most of the other candidates, including Bernie. We should welcome scrutiny of all our candidates now, so we can see how they deal with it and how big of a problem it is before we decide on a nominee.

That said, your rebuttal makes a lot of good points that make me feel a little better about this.

I did think it was ridiculous that some racial justice organizations in Minnesota called on her to suspend her campaign over this, when it seems like there's not a lot of evidence that the conviction was erroneous and there doesn't seem to be any evidence that she engaged in prosecutorial misconduct. But I've only read up on this a little bit. I would like to know more, but that is my impression as of now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
