Thandisizwe Chimurenga has covered the Oscar Grant trial since day once -- reporting for the San Francisco Bayview Newspaper, the website OaklandLocal.com and KPFK. With the jury entering deliberations to decide the fate of former Oakland police officer Johannes Mehserle, Thandi recounts the core arguments by the prosecution and defense and answers critical questions about the case: How did the jury end up without a single African-American? What arguments did the defense make to suggest Johannes Mehserle made a "reasonable mistake" in killing Oscar Grant? Did prosecutor David Stein make the strongest possible argument for Mehserle's conviction?
