Former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle was released from a Los Angeles jail this week after serving 11 months of a two-year sentence for shooting unarmed passenger Oscar Grant. Meanwhile, demonstrators arrested in last year’s protests of the verdict filed a lawsuit on Monday saying that Oakland police violated their rights. Do you think justice was done?

Rachel Lederman, attorney at the National Lawyers Guild, represents the demonstrators arrested during the Mehserle verdict protest last year.
