Sure, Penny very well may be guilty of a crime. However, as the author stated, "Whether Penny is guilty of manslaughter should be decided on the evidence, not as a referendum on America’s racial history."

So the issue is not that we necessarily think Penny is guilty or innocent, but that framing the trial in terms of systemic racism is the wrong way to go about achieving real justice.
