Scarborough: Three White Men Not Charged for Standing There and Watching As Life Drained from a Man in a Slow-Motion Murder

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUG: “I want to take you back a few months, when we were talking about Nathaniel Woods. Nathaniel Woods was a black man from Alabama, who in 2005, was with someone who committed a murder. But as -- as he started shooting, Nathaniel Woods ran. Once the crime began, he ran away because he wanted nothing to do with it. There was no evidence that he was any part of the plan and, yet, Kay Ivey, after ignoring complaints from civil rights leaders, and going through the execution, said, there is no evidence that Nathaniel Woods tried to stop the gunman from committing these heinous crimes. That was her standard for letting a man, who did not pull the trigger and, in fact, who ran away when the crime started, to get executed. And yet, we have three men who were standing there for nine and a half minutes, not stopping a murder from taking place. Now, how do you execute a black man in Alabama for running away from the scene of a crime and let three white men in Minneapolis not be charged for standing there, in -- in the middle of the day, and watch for nine and a half minutes, as life is drained from a man in a slow-motion murder?"
