Stanford University professor Clayeborne Carson, who is teaching a course this summer on Martin Luther King, said the case has nothing to do with civil rights. "It is an important case in terms of how we view the rights of citizens to police their neighborhoods in a way that can lead to wrongful death (but less clear is whether) we should be seeing (the verdict) as a major setback in race relations," Carson said. "I asked the same question about the O.J. Simpson trial. It was a trial in which a lot of light was shed on something that was not representative of very much."
