... as some are deeming it a "rush-to-judgment" move.
Didn't Johnnie Cochron (Cochrane) invent that term during the OJ Simpson trial? Anyway, the term is now a true American classic!
The first I saw the term "Rush to Judgement," it was the title of a 1960s book by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison on the President Kennedy Assassination investigation. He was later discredited, maybe by the folks he blamed.
Enough trivia: back to the lynching.
