Guilty by Color

by Giovanni Gambino, Richard Pryor Jr.

Overview

The whole country is waiting with baited breath for a verdict that many see as a foregone conclusion. But despite the eloquent arguments and reasoning from the prosecution, they have failed to establish a motive. Why would a respected hard-working member of the community take the life of another? The verdict is brought in and only then is the truth revealed...
