    People that look at the case want to believe that the case was out of hate and racism. Others believe that it was self defense. Neither side has clear evidence, just opinionated suggestions. The case must be handled in a lawful manner in which it is an unbiased, evidence supported claim or conviction. It’s easy just to label the occurrence something that is opinionated and convict someone unjustly. However, that is not the way the law system works.
