You have the "RIGHT" to be "JUDGED BY A JURY OF YOUR PEERS" what white people doesn't seem to understand the fundamentals of equality... :stopitslime:


Challenges Based on Race
While courts aren't required to include members of a defendant's race to create "a jury of peers," attorneys cannot exclude a juror based on race during jury selection. In Batson v. Kentucky, James Batson, an African American man, was on trial for burglary and receipt of stolen goods. The prosecutor in the case used peremptory challenges to exclude all four African American members of the jury pool, effectively creating an all-white jury.:francis:

After being convicted of the crimes, Batson appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the removal of the black jurors violated his rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Court ruled in Batson's favor. It found that while a defendant has no right to a jury composed, in whole or in part, of persons of his or her race, the State cannot exclude jurors simply because they are of the same race as the defendant.

Subs. I hope to hear the update about this.

Lots of evidence that prosecutors will dismiss black jurors for the most ridiculous (and contradictory) reasons that others are never subject to. If anybody is interested I can dig through my bookmarks and find some articles on it. The New Jim Crow has a section addressing this issue. In short, anything besides a prosecutor saying "These ******s are dismissed from the panel BECAUSE they are black" doesn't fit the bill of racial bias.

And surprise surprise, when black folks are on a jury, the conviction rate ends up being lower and the death penalty is applied less frequently. This issue gets left off of the table when we talk about BlackLivesMatter and criminal justice reform.
