3. In your view, did people in this case fear police and the criminal justice system, or individuals within the community? Support with evidence. What impact does this have on our efforts to curb, deter, and respond to crime?

4. Share the part of the case that stands with you most after reading. Why does this character, event or behavior stand out to you as the biggest takeaway from the entire case?
