Not to be Debbie Downer, but imagine this trial taking place in CA, NY, or WA. Or possibly even Houston or Austin. Even if no racist black jurors, I would not like the chances in those places given the over-abundance of *****ded white liberals.
I've heard this take often, about racists black jurors.
I might be naive, but I don't think this is fair to countless black folks, who serve on our juries and follow the law.
Even in this trial, i remember reading that multiple black jurors were not selected, because they were honest about not being able to be unbiased when deciding on a verdict.
Anecdotally, i have two friends who served on murder trial juries, who said their faith in the justice system was restored after serving on the juries. in both cases, black defendants were convicted, and there were multiple black people on the juries.
