"In two homicide cases, the defendants received lesser sentences under plea deals than they could have faced if they went to trial because prosecutors were afraid Woods' involvement could lead to acquittals."

IDK how you whites put up with your women. Seriously, a woman strangles her children and White "Liberal" woman all go to her aide.

Then the jury doesn't reach a verdict because of a black juror, so they go after that guy and his history....

White "Liberal" women are out there man outthere.
