Hmmm. This story just doesn't ring true. Seems like there would have
been a jury of his black 4T peers, the camera would have hired Mr.
Johnnie 4TCochran, who would have proved that the white mugger had
called poor Mr 4Tblack the N***n word and therefore of course the
killing was excusable and "If it don't fit, you must acquit", whereupon
Mr 4TBlack could be seen photographing the finest golf courses in the
world, looking for the real killers.
