S6B7 UVALDE TRIAL VERDICT : What the Decision Really Means

The Uvalde Verdict: What the Decision Really Means

The verdict is in.

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former FBI executive and use-of-force expert Katherine Schweit breaks down the legal outcome of the Uvalde case — what the verdict establishes, what it doesn’t, and why accountability in cases like this is so often misunderstood.

This is not reactionary commentary. It’s a clear-eyed explanation of how deadly force law, command responsibility, and policy failures intersect — and why public expectations and legal reality rarely align.
