As I read this it made me think back to Sister Helen Prejean’s book The Death of Innocents and how these cases like Dobie’s and O’Dells are not just one of a few, rather many. I hope one day our society can stop with the racial prejudice in the criminal justice system and our society, but based on articles like this it may be awhile.
Also, I clicked on the Kimani Gray link, I cannot believe the reports statistic that “Every 28 hours in 2012 someone employed or protected by the US government killed a black man, woman, or child!” …That statistic is astonishing!

Chalres Rasmey is a hero and his passed should of never been investigated/looked at. It unfortunate and makes me wonder if it was a white neighbor who found them, would we even of checked to see if he was a criminal too?

Could have singlehandedly stopped it, but looked the other way like Clinton on Rwanda. I was hoping Maria would talk some sense into him

I agree 1000% on Williams — we lost so much potential with him
This is so true — ” His execution was one of the saddest and demoralizing days in American history.”

His execution was one of the saddest and demoralizing days in American history. Besides his individual redemption, Williams held the power to create the type of change that a 1000 gang-reduction activists could not approach.
Yet so many people could not see his value because of their hatred. I lost friends over disagreements on Tookie Williams.
