56. Involuntary manslaughter it may very well be...
and there are definitely times when justice is not served or doled out to particular communities. But it doesn't look like this was one of those times. The fact that they were minors has a lot to do with the light sentences and the victim's own willingness to escalate the fight made it seem less like a beat down and more like a drunken brawl gone terribly wrong.

Who knows, maybe the feds will find something in the case the original prosecutor didn't.
