re: #149 blueraven

A shame only one black person on that jury. Call me cynical, but I am betting he/she wasn’t the lone holdout to guilt.

I was just thinking that if there were more black folks on the jury - or majority black - that if the vote was to convict there would be a huge uproar from the Blue Lives Matter crowd that it was a racist jury and not a jury of peers and there was no way he could get a fair trial.

But only one black person and none of them will blink an eye if there’s a mistrial. And heaven forbid you point this out, because they’re not racist, not at all!

And again, I don’t know how you have that conversation if someone is so set on a viewpoint that facts don’t penetrate. Or aren’t facts.
