It seems pretty clear to me this case was never about race.
It was about crazy, violent, threatening behavior. With 40 previous arrests for that same behavior.
Just because Neely the deceased was black doesn't make it about race either.
He's hardly a poster child for black equality.
And yet the NAACP, BLM and others are trying hard to make it so.
A 12-person jury and four alternates were selected and sworn in. They included seven women and five men, with at least seven White people, one Hispanic person, one Filipino person, one Black person and one person of Middle Eastern descent.
Given the length of deliberations, it seems likely that at least one juror was voting to convict. But not for the last vote.
Given the facts, videos and witness statements, how anyone could consider this a racial issue is beyond me. Had the roles been reversed, I don't believe anyone would be claiming a racial injustice in the verdict.

It's because of the actual demographics of the persons involved. And because they (still) can.
Maybe this BS will change, sometime soon.

With the judge dismissing the greater charge, the hold outs on the jury will most likely convict.

The radio pundits said that the acquittal happened relatively quickly. Perhaps the jurors saw that the prosecution really didn't have the courage of their convictions (not to be punny).
It was kind of like the prosecution sympathized with the "holdouts". The jurors voting to convict realized that they were fighting a (really stupid) losing battle, and realized that the prosecution didn't really much care, anyway, and just said "eff it".
Edit - I realized that I have been quoting you, most of the evening.

Pretty sure the same rules apply to weak minds as well.
