When you are accused of a crime, these are the type of people who may be prosecuting your case:
A screen capture of the Facebook interaction emailed to the Houston Chronicle showed comments Craft made in reference to Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in a July trial.Craft wrote: "How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of 'purple drank.' So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window ... kay?"
In another comment, Craft wrote that "low information voters carried the day for the Dalibama in the last election" and posted an image of a graphic that said: "Obama: Why Stupid People Shouldn't Vote."And yet, we wonder why the criminal justice system is often stacked against defendants of color?
However, Gutheinz said he believed that any investigation into Craft would be a violation of privacy and his First Amendment rights. He said he was concerned about the federal government assembling a criminal case against Craft. He also said, "This isn't something that should get him fired."And yet, Mr. Craft thinks it's perfectly okay to go snoop on the Facebook pages of people that he prosecutes, to see if they might have used their First Amendment rights to post incriminating evidence. How do you like them apples?
