This case proved that it is still possible to get justice in this country
Garcia Zarate was in a foreign country and had the President of the United States calling for his execution. He had the most powerful cable news network in the world spreading false information and calling for his head. He was subject to extreme bigotry and was being used as a scapegoat for painting illegal immigrants as murderers and rapists
The jury ignored the hype and reached an impartial verdict
You called it exactly, the biased jury gave a political verdict that set a guilty illegal alien free.
this is America today.
Thankfully, the jury ignored the rightwing hysteria and the judge blocked the prosecution from bringing it up in the trial
All the jury had to go on was the facts of the case and those facts did not support a conviction
Proud day for our justice system
