I am not convinced that the hold was the catalyst for his demise. Of course, I am not privy to all the reams of Grand Jury testimony either.
Like in the Ferguson case, a Grand Jury went over a lot of info. In both cases, it should have been a slam dunk to get an indictment. Based on evidence, not just a video, both Grand Juries declined to indict.
That should carry some weight. Going to trial just to satisfy a mob is not a good idea.


Sounds a lot like a lynching, doesn't it?
