Justice, Race, and Public Perception

This chapter explores the tragic events of a teenage altercation that escalated to a deadly stabbing, raising questions about self-defense and societal biases in trial outcomes. The discussion highlights the complex interplay of race, community support, and public reactions to high-profile cases, such as those involving Carmelo Anthony and self-defense incidents. By examining the implications of these cases, the chapter critiques how justice can be perceived differently based on race and political motivations.
