That's exactly what is happening. Durham is mostly, maybe 80%, black; the prsecutor is white and just wound up his reelection successfully. He was indeed milking the case for the political mileage it furnished. Apparently there is no "speedy trial" requirement for prosecutions in North Carolina, a state that I lived in during most of my youth, and that is a tragedy and a travesty.
