Mixed Feelings

The kid charged with murdering Dinneral Shavers has been acquitted. I've got mixed feelings about this. Clearly, our community suffered a geniune loss when Shavers died. On the other hand, knowing how the NOPD and the Orleans Parish DA works, I've absolutely no confidence that David Bonds was a legit suspect. I know both the defense attorneys involved (Boggs and Garvey) and I know they did a hell of a job representing their client. And I've got to hand it to the jurors who made what, to anyone who cares about this city and who cares about justice to the accused as well as the aggrieved, an agonizing decision.


Follow up, maybe....hopefully just sad coincidence
