Super surprised at this verdict but it was the best possible outcome. Prosecution had no case given the shoddy evidence. Defense was beyond talented. Experts disagreed on everything. This lets us all move on. I hope his family can make peace with it - but no verdict would ever bring him back.

This reminds me of the excellent novel The Amateurs by Liz Harmer in which most of civilization chooses to step through these portals - not knowing where they lead - never to be seen again. We’re so entranced by technology we’ll hand over everything to it.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.
