If you're referring to VVNG there are no such comments, especially about her being a woman of color. Most comments have been extremely respectful and caring.
Yes I was at the zoo. What an emotionally draining day, I can only imagine how the families are feeling. I tried to just sneak in and sneak out because I didn't want to be on camera and wanted to lay low.
I was slightly on the fence until the prelim but the prelim and Judge Smith's summary of why he ruled against dismissing the charges sealed the deal. Merritt is guilty of the four atrocious murders beyond all reasonable doubt. Start prepping his cell on death row.
