Stephany, Dominique and Doug sit with the heaviness of yesterday's news: a 16-year-old girl was killed by police even as the jury announced it had found Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts of murdering George Floyd. While there was accountability in one case, true justice is still a long way off.
