What's especially disturbing about this case, even though justice was eventually done with all three men being convicted of felony murder, is that they came within a hair's breadth of escaping criminal charges.

It took four prosecutors before someone was finally willing to charge them with a crime. The white establishment in Georgia was desperate to let them go free.

If someone had not leaked the videotape of the murder, if that videotape had not existed in the first place, these three vicious racist white men would still be roaming the streets, feeling free to gun down Black men at their pleasure.
