15. I would think that
if you did all those things, you would be the kind of person who is aware that black people are often accused of crimes for which they were later found not to have committed. The Central Park jogger case and that of Mike Espy, former agriculture secretary, come to mind. Every other month it seems that black men are being released from prison after having served long sentences for crimes they never committed. Their release was obtained through the work of the Innocence Project. I would think that you would be willing to wait for trial with evidence presented before judging him guilty. There are many ineffective politicians. Being ineffective does not equate to criminality. Neither of us is privy to all of the details of the case yet you have already decided he is guilty because you do not like him. That is most unfortunate,imo.
