Pinkney Verdict: Guilty (Without Evidence)
An all-white jury convicted Rev. Edward Pinkney today on 5 felony counts of forgery. (Alleged voter fraud: changing dates on mayoral recall petitions.)
During the trial last week the judge and prosecutor told the jury multiple times that people can be convicted WITHOUT evidence.
