Talk about racism

I would have to agree with the authors post on the total lack of transparency and direct fairness this case represents. The author has covered the emotional issues with personal commentary and laid out a brief but concise amount of facts on Mr. Brown's case.

If we review current pro bono legal aid web sites they are stocked with horrible stories of justice not being color blind. I also agree that a judge should view a person before the bench as a human first regardless of race, creed, or color.

Great follow up point in the conclusion statement calling for some kind of review or censure of the judge. We are a nation based on laws and our justices should be held accountable to those same laws and the criminals that go before them. Would have been a great ending to have added some current follow up on the issues with Mr. Brown or with the judge.
