Obama Administration to Review Involuntary Manslaughter Conviction in Oscar Grant Shooting Trial

At ABC7 San Francisco, "US Justice Department to review BART shooting," and at Weasel Zippers, "After Riots Break Out in Oakland Over White Transit Cop Who Shot Black Man Being Convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter, AG Holder Says He’s Considering Bringing Federal Charges Against Officer." (Via Memorandum). Kimberly Guilfoyle, on Megyn Kelly's right now, sees a travesty of justice (with the BART officer deserving of a second degree murder conviction). More on the that at Outside the Beltway and Oakland Local. But see San Franciso Chronicle, "The right verdict in Mehserle case."

Plus, more on the rioting. The message from Grand Lake Theater:

And more video from the scene:

See also San Francisco Chronicle, "83 arrests in Oakland follow Mehserle verdict."
