    I don’t understand how you can convict someone based on the testimony of a person getting a plea deal for turning in another person.

    The last thing the person getting the plea deal would want to do is turn over someone loyal enough to them to rob a place and shoot another person with.

    Does anyone think this would have happened if the accused was the son of a wealthy white couple? How about if it was the police chief’s son? Any senator’s son?

    Just saying. Testimony without hard evidence shouldn’t be enough for criminal conviction, let alone a fucking execution.

      Please refer to North Carolina’s skin color chart for further explanation.
