I sure would like to know what reason the jury was given to believe that made the officer 'involunarily' PULL THE TRIGGER OF THE GUN THAT SHOT THE YOUTH IN THE BACK WHO WAS FACE DOWN ON THE PLATFORM, KILLING HIM? Did someone bump into him, causing the gun to go off?  Was there a loud noise and spooked the officer, making him 'involuntarily' squeeze the trigger?  Did his finger 'itch' at that specific second?  Unless these questions can be answered satisfactorily, THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS STORY.
