Didn't see any "overcharging' IMO! o_O
The jury took three days for the verdicts. They followed the law and the presented evidence on the charges. First-degree (the act of deliberately killing another person with premeditation and malice aforethought) charges obviously were not proved. He was on the stand, open to any and all valid questions on the case. The point is to seek the truth. The truth is what's important.

So far i see that social media reacted exactly the same way i did!
That and a few dollars will buy a cup of black coffee today.

I'm sure you've been on a jury before as have I. Thank goodness social media opinions needs to have zero input to court verdicts. So far I've seen no court commentators (across the political spectrum) that watched the trial be surprised by the verdict.

That doesn't mean a person is happy with the outcome but the facts and the law dictate outcomes, not social media.

Unfortunately.
Predictable as a clock, another riot in Portland.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Several individuals dressed in all black with their faces covered attempted to keep a KATU camera crew from recording the events unfolding downtown Friday night after the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office declared a gathering of people a riot.

The individuals demanded the crew stop recording.

The group then attacked the KATU camera operator when the crew asserted their right to record in a public space. A confrontation occurred between the individuals and the TV station's security guards.

The argument that going to space and dealing with problems at home is mutually exclusive is an enduring one. In fact, one can find examples of this criticism going all the way back to the dawn of the Space Age. For those who grew up during the "Space Race," the speech delivered by President John F. Kennedy at Rice University in 1962 is sure to be familiar:

"We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win..."

That one is in my back yard and I can tell you he was not the little angel that Ben Crump and associates portray him as. Multiple run ins with the law and almost every time violently resisting arrest and trying to escape. It has Trayvon written all over it and is Crump's standard gambit to take a repeated offender and turn him into a little angel in the national media.
