Quote:Nah you could be black and it be just as bad. The most damning thing is not that you are white, it's you're a mother. The fact that you're a mother who tried to defend her and didn't realize she lied twice. Once while her husband was dead.

You need to learn the difference between understanding WHY someone might have done something, and actually defending what they did.


And as for why she still lied about stuff, from a link within the op article:


"Mr. Acosta said that the case was being reopened because of "renewed interest in the case," including documentary films and other research that indicated that more than two men had been involved in killing Emmett. Mr. Acosta would not be more specific, but said all information would be re-examined."

More than two men involved...


Think theres a chance that not everyone involved in killing that poor child was dead by then?
