It doesn't seem to be open and shut - he seems to have several people around the case who believe him. And these days, getting fired does ruin your life for a bit.
I'm not saying killing innocent people is right in any way, shape or form, but those doing wrong because they can (like abusing kids, hurting good people for fun) produce a lot more terrible results than people imagine.
The other horrible thing this case shows is how chained american blacks are by the whole racism thing. Everything ties back to racism 24 hours a day. It is behind every door, imagined sometimes and sometimes just real enough that they can't escape it. The media and their community leader constantly drilling it in from infancy, "you are a victim, you will be a victim, there is always racism, you will never be free of it". Black men seem to be taught that the only weapon they have is nihilism, the threat to "go crazy and start killin folks". So a few very evil people can make a few dollars off the racism industry (for example, Ms. Rice, who is being paid handsomely as a consultant by LAPD to say they have made "great progress" but they have "decades to go") they have ruined the lives of millions who could be happy.
