It Sure Took Them Long Enough; Boston Ed.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu on Wednesday issued a formal apology on behalf of the city to two Black men wrongly accused of the 1989 murder of a pregnant white woman, a high-profile case that deepened rifts between the police force and the Black community.

34 years to say "sorry about that shit, man". Without a recent HBO series about the case, it's a safe bet that the apology would never have been made. So color me unimpressed.

I wrote about the case fourteen years ago.

    Blatant disregard for the truth. What gets me is how do these people live with themselves when they know the real killer is still out there?

    A simple reason to be against the death penalty for the most part.
