Two gang members that "supposedly" stabbed a man were found non-guilty since they had no more proof. Although what if they did stab him? The Constitution states you can't be tried for the same trial, so basically if they did stab him they can't be tried anymore! The man had two kids and now they have no one and have no justice for him. This generation would rather kill a man for messing with their "gang" and have the man's kids in foster.
