Weekend Chatterbox: NY PD Groom Killers Unacquitted

This week's Weekend Chatterbox is unrelated to Christian Fiction, but worth the chatter. Just a few minutes ago the detectives, who NY unarmed groom leaving his bachelor party were acquitted or reckless endangerment.

Sean Bell, a 23-year-old black man, was killed in a hail of gunfire outside a seedy strip club in Queens on Nov. 25, 2006 — his wedding day — as he was leaving his bachelor party with two friends. The officers, complaining that pretrial publicity had unfairly painted them as cold-blooded killers, opted to have the judge decide the case rather than a jury.

Sean was shot with 50 bullets.

Question: Granted they weren't charged for manslaughter a felony charge, is their justice here for the bride and groom?
