Why didn’t this get brought up in the OJ trial?
Good luck screening for “subconscious racist beliefs”
The lady juror had the good sense to tell the judge she was being stalked — and the Court of Appeals slams her for it.
More crap and you should see the black racist jurors in inner cities who let black defendants off the hook. They are never held to account.
Maybe minority drivers get pulled over more because they are bad drivers. Most minorities have an entitlement attitude that makes them think a different standard should apply to them. Speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights, those things are their way of sticking it to the man, and thus they can do those things with impunity.
How is it possible to prove that nobody on any jury is a subconscious racist?
Walks like a duck....talks like a duck.
Could it be, A duck?
Anyone wearing an Obama shirt is out!
Judge Jose L. Fuentes. Says it all.
Generally the jury system is defended as a composite of the experiences of jurors applied to the facts of the case. I don’t know how you can ever get a jury that does not bring their life experiences to their deliberations. They do not walk into the jury box with a brain that is a tabula rasa.
Attorneys are charged with ferreting out biases and making sure that the juror can put them aside and give the party a fair trial. Otherwise, they get the juror dismissed from the jury. But the emphasis is on ashing them about putting their biases aside to be fair. Otherwise you would never empanel a jury.
This judge seems to be setting a new and impossible standard for jurors if he thinks that ‘latent’ and “subliminal” biases can be found and eliminated from all jurors.
‘e have unequivocally condemned this specious and hateful practice when it was used by the law enforcement community in this state to target minority motorists as they traveled our highways. ‘
Hoax.

So if you put a ‘Trump’ sticker on your brief case, you can get out of jury duty? LOL !!!
The real question: Do they get to keep the car? (Oh, and did they kill the old woman?)
Easy Peazy, Japanesey.
Even though this is a state appeal court, guaranteed coming soon to a SCOTUS decree. Then a other huge federal police force. (Key word, Force)
The Thought Police.
So will courts also now screen prospective jurors for possible anti-white, anti-cop, and anti-law-enforcement hatreds??
That would probably eliminate about half of a certain inner-city minority from consideration.
So the fact that the dirbags were guilty has no bearing? Its more important that an elderly lady had expressed concerns for her safety and a judge perceived that as latent racism? This country is going to shit.............
“Subliminal” and “deeply-rooted, latent racial bias” is utterly meaningless without objective criteria.
In past, courts have ruled that jurors have very wide latitude to determine guilt or innocence, and that bias must be blatant, obvious and expressed as such to sway the outcome.
In fact, grounds for a mistrial *based* on such bias is such that those jurors can be held in contempt for their actions, which means their expressions must be beyond doubt.
