Clearly this was a case about RACE. With that said NO black jury is gonna convict one of they're own kind IDC what they did.
Look at the Trayvon Murder case a jury of ALL white woman and all MOTHER'S too ... They wasn't going to convict George (their own kind)
Moral of the story racism is still alive and WELL

1. It was not an all black jury.
2. Rodney Kings did play a part.
3. Again, It was not an all black jury. If it were all racial intentions, or one of the non-black people could actually convict him, it would have lead to a hung jury.
4. Even if the facts were just blanket straight that he did commit the murder, the judge would have given a directed verdict and disregarded the jury's answer. The Jury is just the fact finder with the judge being the one who decides. (AKA, when the jury says they found someone guilty, the person isn't guilty until the judge rules in favor of the verdict.)
5. The Trayvon muder case ended that way because the prosecutor went for a charge she knew she couldn't get. Same way with Casey Anthony, etc. I don't understand why the prosecutors do this in Florida, but if you look at the state (not just the high profile cases) this is a common practice to go for the highest charge possible.
In my personal opinion, is it possible that he did it. Sure is. Is it also possible he hired someone else to do it. Probably as well. I do think he is connected to it, but I wasn't there and I don't feel like putting too much thought into it. He lost the civil case though.
