Thirty-two years apart, same underlying script: a mistaken accusation of petty theft, a young Black person turning to leave, a gun going off anyway. The non-fatal versions, the...

A Mockery of Justice: The Release and Presidential Pardoning of Officers Responsible for the Death of Karon Hylton-Brown
