Of course she is guilty.
She did in fact break the law.
Gavan told a court on Tuesday that she took desperate measures to get her
son, Clayton, now 19, clean. She slept next to him as he shook and sweated
through withdrawals. She enrolled him in a new school to keep him away from a
bad crowd. She sent him off to live with relatives and even took him to work
with her.
But a jury decided she went too far when she struck the 22-year-old man who
helped supply heroin to her son with a baseball bat.
Technically she broke the law, so this isn't a case of miscarried justice. Still had I been on the jury, I don't know that I would have voted to convict. I do know that had I been the prosecuting attorney I would have found a case more worthy of my time and taxpayer resources to prosecute.
I wonder sometimes if the only purpose the criminal justice system has left is to keep the White people obeying the law. Because if they stop, then all the rules change.
