Another bit of irony is that those of you who are implying that others are racists are using the race of the jury to form your opinions on their motives. By virtue of their white skin they were unable to fairly mete out justice right?

In 1944, a white jury in South Carolina considering the case of a black boy supposedly having murdered 2 white girls? I'm quite comfortable answering - yes, you are correct. That jury was most likely incapable of objectively meting out justice. BECAUSE they were white. I don't consider this to be even a marginally controversial position. You seem to have a very limited understanding of what Jim Crow actually was.
