Black lawyer wants black jurors to free all blacks committing crimes on whites

An African-American lawyer and editor of a popular legal website is calling on all black jurors across the country to automatically vote to free any black person accused of murdering or committing a crime against a white person despite the evidence.
quote:
Maybe it’s time for black people to use the same tool white people have been using to defy a system they do not consent to: jury nullification. White juries regularly refuse to convict or indict cops for murder. White juries refuse to convict vigilantes who murder black children. White juries refuse to convict other white people for property crimes. White juries act like the law is just a guideline and their personal morality (or lack thereof) should be controlling.
quote:
Murder? … what the hell do you think is happening to black people out here? What the hell do you think we’re complaining about when your cops shoot us or choke us? Acquit. Don’t throw “murder” at me like it’s some kind of moral fault line where the risk of letting one go is too great. Black people ARE BEING MURDERED, and the system isn’t doing a damn thing to hold their killers accountable. Sorry I’m not sorry if this protest idea would put the shoe on the other foot for a change.

Good luck with that.

It only takes one juror in lots of cases to muck it up.

The sad thing is all he wants is attention and folks are going to give him all he wants, this could be his Tawana Brawley moment, it worked for the POS Sharpton.

Holy cow. They need to disbar someone that racist.

The idiot lawyer =/= black people
I've voted blacks guilty on juries and slept like a baby. Nothing will come of this.

I would think his statements could get him disbarred, no?
Posted on 12/10/16 at 9:24 am to Revelator
yeah...no racism there...

Sadly, the double standard that he is crying about cuts two ways, because the same standard that would apply to a white lawyer saying these things won't be applied to him because of his color. Ironic isn't it?

This has already been going on for decades.

Probably, but a lawyer publicly advocating for it is a different animal.

Black people are the most racist,and paranoid of the races of people.
Also this dude is hilarious. By a wide margin black people kill white people far more than the other way around.
Also black people kill more blacks than white kills blacks.

Not really. It's the socially expected norm now.
Your white privilege doesn't allow you to register that.

Definitely not a racist cult.

Wait, they're not doing that already?

I was reading an article in the Washington Post last week and it was about trying to rehabilitate young blacks convicted of crimes instead of giving them long prison sentences.
In one of the stories, a black woman who was a principal was robbed at gunpoint by a young black man and she stated that she was very hesitant to file charges because she didn't want to convict another black man!

I suspect hia state bar association is being inundated with complaints.
If his Bar follows Rules 3.5, possibly 3.6 and 8.4 (and they all do), his arse is grass.

Isn't this pretty much how OJ skated on double homicide? A Jury consisting of 9 Blacks, 1 Hispanics and 2 Whites. Too bad he's in jail now...I bet he would have found the real killers by now. We need to offer up a deal with Mexico where we can exchange 2 thugs for one hard working Mexican.
