What the Eric Garner Grand Jury .. - The New Yorker | good point:/  an over-[valuing] of white *intentions*. As any prosecutor knows, there are offenses on the books that don’t turn on a will to murder, or crude racism, or even unkindness. Officer Pantaleo says that he didn’t want to kill anyone; Officer Wilson was scared. Each of them might still have been charged with a crime.    //yes. can commit a crime without ~ trying to be bad, do wrong.   can be guilty without having had bad intentions.   /wh is it? murder one, th requires intent ~ show motive (or is that just to reduce doubt, show reasonability of why wld do).  anyway not necess for other convictions. //
