   POLICEMEN FOUND NOT GUILTY

   Four New York policemen charged with the murder of an African immigrant in February last year, are found not - guilty, of all charges, by the jury. The policemen fired 41 shots and he was hit by 19 of them. They claimed that they thought he was another person and that he was drawing a gun on them. So their lawyer preceded on self - defense, and that tactic was quite successful. The trial has been described as a farce, and as a proof of the extensive racism among the white cops and inhabitants in the city.
