So sites like newsmax are saying that the verdict was the result of public pressure and not due process:

”I have no real confidence that this verdict, which may be correct in some ways, but I have no confidence that this verdict was produced by due process and the rule of law, rather than the influence of the crowd,” the legal scholar said on Tuesday’s edition of ”Spicer & Co.” on Newsmax TV.

How can we expect police to keep public order if we do not let them get away with committing acts of premeditated violence with impunity?
