The man seems to have “fallen off the grid” since that day of November 24th, 1971 with no hard evidence to lead authorities to any conclusions. The fact that such an act is possible, quite frankly, astonishes me and intrigues me to

the police officers got a “pat on the back” and let go. This caused an uproar among the black community and it caused them to come together and protest that justice be served. It all started back in 2012 when George Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. But before Trayvon there was Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old who got shot by BART police officer Johannes Mehserle in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2009.

To begin with Holmes should have sent Ryder and the maid (Cusack) to prison. All of the evidence in the story states that they stole the jewel.
