Totally disagree. Having sat on numerous court martial boards in the military, minority Officers and Senior NCOs will judge the merits of a case and dispense justice, if warranted, regardless of race. Often wondered why the military reflects society racially, yet has few of its moral, ethical, or criminal problems. The only thing that I can think of is that the military holds every individual accountable for his conduct.

Guess he didn't read the part about Turner and his murdering band getting shot or hanged, then having their decapitated head stuck on a pole for all to see.

Can appeals be based on racial make up of the jury?
Appeals based on denied Batson motions (the thing that lawyers do to allege that a juror was unlawfully struck on the basis of race) are virtually impossible to win.
I am a trial lawyer who has researched this issue in depth.

I wonder if potential black jurors disqualified themselves intentionally by some of their responses. If they vote to convict, they would definitely hear it from the community. If they vote to acquit, they know they are going to be accused of perverting justice and making themselves the center of a racial firestorm.

The Constitution does not mention a “jury of your peers.”
What it does guarantee is the right to an impartial jury. An impartial jury is made up of people who have no personal stake in the outcome of the case and no meaningful connection to either the defendant or the victim.
The phrase “jury of your peers” is often misunderstood. If taken literally, a person’s peers could mean classmates, teammates, coworkers, fellow church members, or others from the same social circle. That is not what the Constitution requires.
The goal is not to seat people who know or identify with the defendant, but rather to seat jurors who can fairly evaluate the evidence without bias, prejudice, or personal involvement. In other words, they have no skin in the game and can render a verdict based solely on the facts presented in court.

It’s sad that every attorney in that room knows full well that an impartial jury of black Americans is impossible to impanel.
I will never forget the way the blacks were jumping up and down and acting foolish in celebration of OJ being found not guilty. We were in school watching the verdict on TV. That’s all the evidence I needed for a lifelong lesson.

I grew up in the Deep South and had black friends all my life, but about 2013 or so I noticed a big change with the rhetoric and vitriol for white people coming from the Democrats and the left. Black friends I had known for years started saying really hateful, angry things about white people that I had never heard from them before
They always thought it, they just got comfortable enough to say it

Hell, black people discriminate against other black people for not being the same shade... with the uppity faction being the ones with the LIGHTEST skin.
Ever heard of the Rwandan genocide? No? Roughly a million people burned, hacked, sawed, drowned, and lynched because they were the wrong shade black.
Gotta go and murder all them uppity light skinned Tutsis. Cut the tall trees down n all that jazz.
When was this again? Oh 30 years ago.

Actually, it’s well-established that D.A’s in many jurisdictions do everything they can to eliminate black jurors. There are even “how to” seminars at D.A. Conventions…

You should be able to post some promotional materials for those seminars. Surely you aren't posting heresay.
