Help Free Eric! - 07-09-2009, 01:12 AM

So, I was watching a video from my favorite youtuber, and he talked about this kid named Eric who is black and was a rising star in soccer, and was even asked to join the MLS. But recently, he was convicted of raping and assaulting a girl, whose blood alcohol level was nearly fatal. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers, 12 white guys and a white judge. Also, none of the evidence was actually good enough to convict him, the teeth marks on the victim's body didn't match up with Eric's, no seamen was found on the victim, and nothing was found on Eric, yet he is still guilty.
I just wanted to get this story out, because Eric isn't from America; no money, so media attention for this is very limited, all except for this ESPN article;
Spread the word about the story, and maybe all this can change, because last time I checked, we are all innocent until proven guilty
Thanks!
