THE MISTRIAL VERDICT IN SAM RIDDLES TRIAL WHEN THERE WAS MUCH EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM

BASED ON THE EVIDENCE SAM RIDDLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF THE CORRUPTION CHARGES AGAINST HIM BUT INSTEAD THE JURY DEADLOCKED AND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOOD REASON FOR A MISTRAIL IN RIDDLES TRIAL
Riddle and other black polticians are so far the only ones the government has charged in Detroit's corruption scandals. While Detroit is 80 or 90 percent black the real poltical power in the city rests with white power brokers namely the mafia. Yet none of these people who have stolen the big money from the city have been charged with any crimes.
Greektown Ted Gazorous who has received tens of millions of dollars from the city and has paid back little of that money appeared as a prosecution witness against Riddle. That was an awfully bad move on the governments part. This is one of the people who should be on trial for corruption and instead of appearing as government witness in a public corruption trial. It looked bad for the government. It was simpley bad taste. Gazorous was denied a casino license because he failed to pay back loans given to him by the city of Detroit.
While blacks are the ones who suffer the most from public corpution they must be wondering why only black polticians are on trial when its power brokers like Mike Illich and Ted Gazorous who ended up stealing the really big money from the city and so far have gotten away scott free. Unless people like Illich are punished Detroit's corruption trials are going to look phoney and staged.
