6: If Innocent...why did he mail himself a threatening letter (they proved that)
7: Why would two BLACK men do this to another black man at 2:30 am in freezing weather? (Two black men would not unless paid to do it...as for the time? No witnesses)
8: Why would he forfeit his bail bond of 10k to a city that charged him if he was innocent? LOL

This reeks of fear of black retailiation....politicall, socially in a city that has the highest crimes rates in the nation.
