Was having a discussion about this with Ben Doughty and a few others on his page yesterday. Due to the cluster-fuck of a case, we will probably never no the real outcome and also because of this and the fact they could not gather substantial evidence then it is probably correct that he was freed. but for those of you that have studied the case what are you thoughts on his guilt or innocence.
Evidence against:
2 witnesses identified the vehicle him and Artis were picked up in
He admittedly went searching for guns before the incident
Live rounds were found in the vehicle that matched the murder weapon
Witness identified Carter (good possibility of ulterior motives)
One of the victims gave an e-fit of Artis
carter was in the area (in a nearby bar)
Possible motive in racial reaction to his friends father being killed by a white-man earlier that night
Survivor identified Carter to brother.
Carter was never proved innocence but rather let go due to the case being based on a racist witch-hunt from local police as well as some suspicious witnesses etc.
Carter apparently had some major beef with some of the local police that had them pursuing him and looking to pin stuff on him whenever possible.
