On the other hand, it appears that a lot of people (including many in the press and on this board and throughout social media) revealed their true selves here. It is a profoundly sad thing to realize that so many otherwise normal humans were so ready to convict Tyreek based on absolutely zero evidence. They used this situation as a frenzied opportunity to promote and highlight their own supposed morality and righteousness and they did it in the face of the known facts. To my mind, there is nothing moral or righteous about damning another person outright in order to make oneself feel better and look better to others.
It makes one wonder how much social bias actually exists in the world. Using this fiasco as a template, I'd say the answer is far too much.
Still, the reality is that it's their credibility. I suppose they can do what they want with it.

The same people who are refusing to judge Tyreek are the same people who are judging and calling Christal all types of names despite knowing next to nothing about the case or her. This whole thing is so ****ed up, it's crazy.
