Read the facts of this case. They're going to try this guy for the 7th time. Three prior cases were overturned for some form of prosecutorial misconduct and two were hung juries. Now this. Set this man free.

I agree wholeheartedly. If the state feels that the persistent strategy of excluding black jurors is that necessary then that is quite telling of the case's evidentiary strength. Ive never heard of a case history like this, convictions being reversed this many times as well as hung juries. On a side note Id love to see how much it's all costed the state/county.

Plus, the state's particular strategy in going about this appears amateur. This isnt generalizing for any malicious purpose, but if one wants to exclude a certain race the questioner at jury selection must be more discreet, at least as far as basis for peremptory strike is concerned...for example ask all jurors what their political affiliation is. I'll put it this way, in terms of my side of things: if I want a relatively legit basis to strike as many white jurors as possible I ask all jurors what their political affiliation is. Depending on where u are most whites will be Republican (my area)....and that's my basis in case of reverse Batson challenge - dont want Republicans on my jury.

Now this is BS. But, set him free and let the families of the victims handle it from here.
