“We cannot be satisfied with what we have right now”
Cahill asked the jury making their decision in a hotel to refrain from watching the news on the case and get as little outside information as possible. Despite his pleas, former Minnesota Criminal Defense Lawyers Association president Brock Hunter, said Waters’ and Biden’s comments were unlikely to be successfully challenged in court. “Politicians will definitely comment on this case and its impact on the public”. But, if there is no direct evidence that such comments had a direct influence on the outcome of the case, the appeal will surely lose.
Both parties on Capitol Hill said such a verdict could serve as the impetus for a new law on police reform and will likely happen soon.
Finally we can say that Justice, said Tim Scott, remains fair for everyone, only one black senator of South Carolina at the moment. In his opinion, this is a memorable date, thanks to the verdict after which a group of black congressmen hugged each other warmly, hearing the news.
The audience was feeling a deep relief and gratitude according to Hank Johnson. The politician was very pleased with how fast the verdict was made and, in his opinion, it shows that the lives of black people were as important to the jury as anyone else’s.
