Justice for Kelly Thomas! The case needs to be retried.
The "Not Guilty" verdict on all counts for the Kelly Thomas case was unjust. We cannot let 2 officers walk away free when they deliberately harmed and ultimately killed a man, Kelly Thomas.
Why is this important?
I am just a normal law abiding citizen that happened to hear about the news of the man Kelly Thomas. I watched the ~30 minute raw video footage of the police officers beating Mr. Kelly Thomas. When the verdict was released today (1/13/14) on the news where the officers were found "Not Guilty" on all counts, I was completely shocked. I don't agree with the jurors' decision and that they must have missed some important facts that were witnessed in the video. The case must be retried.
