PARIS, Texas (AP) _ Protesters mad over murder charges dropped against two white men accused in the death of a black friend rallied Monday in Paris.
About 150 people demonstrated outside a courthouse, including members of the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party.
Participants complained of what they called a pattern of unequal justice in Paris, about 90 miles northeast of Dallas. They want a Justice Department review of the case.
No one was arrested.
A special prosecutor, citing a lack of evidence, had charges dismissed last week against Shannon Finley and Charles Crostley.
Both were accused in last September’s run-over death of Brandon McClelland after the trio made a beer run to Oklahoma.
A gravel truck driver last month gave a sworn statement acknowledging he might have accidentally run over McClelland.
