White Biocentrism

A black man has been acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of a white man outside a bar in a case his attorney said stemmed from "ugly racism."

Spencer, 31, was accused of killing Christopher Williams, 32, in a confrontation outside the Pittston bar in July 2017 after another man refused to shake his hand because of Spencer's race following a dispute over a game of pool.

The handshake refusal "may and should offend some of you," prosecutor Brittany Quinn had told jurors during opening statements, but she told the mostly white panel that the killing had "nothing to do with" the earlier dispute.

Pike said the case was "more than just someone shooting an unarmed person.

"And the jury saw it, they saw it for what it was," he said. "Ugly racism."
