Point being, as has been mentioned many times throughout this thread, that people will vote one way or the other based on skin color alone, white or black.


Which is exactly why the white folks created this 10/12 scheme. To completely silence any influence of blacks on a jury. That was the purpose, and you say that is just fine.

If they're voting not guilty because of skin color, their influence should be silenced.

This isn't the 1950s anymore. First off, most of the crimes involving felonies of black people occur in larger, urban areas. Most of the big cities in Louisiana are split demographically if not slightly favoring minority populations. Secondly, lawyers get to hand pick jurors. It isn't 12 white men trying every case now.

If they won't vote guilty for a guilty person then they should be in jail too
