Will post here when I know what the verdict is.
There is reason to believe there may be "justice" for Oscar Grant in our future...
*prays and hopes*
UPDATE: Involuntary Manslaughter.
Means he will basically be out in two years.
This is how far we've come people. A Black man's life is worth two years in prison.
