As an example he used George Zimmerman where they charged him with murder and he got off because the prosecution couldn't prove it, where if they'd just charged him with manslaughter he may be sitting in jail now. But they are being pressured by media, social media, etc, so they may end up overcharging him because they're trying to prove by the uncharge that they take it more serious, which is not how it's supposed to work. He is saying that 3rd degree is really the more relevant charge than 2nd degree murder, which you have to prove intent to murder as opposed to it being an accident and a blatant disregard for life in what you did.
Also charging the others with aiding and abetting might not really apply because they were just standing there and not helping someone who predetermined to murder someone. But he brought up what I did about if any are acquitted what will ensue. And of course now the justice system is racist again because they weren't convicted when it's basically they overcharged and can't prove it under the legal definitions of those charges.
