The nearly all-white jury, which has one Black member, began deliberating the men’s fate on Tuesday.

everything has to be about race
Out of over 150 juror prospects, it was hard to find any blacks that haven’t already decided the guys are guilty
If you mention someone’s skin color, you are racist.
If you don’t mention skin color, you are racist.
It’s the Kobayashi Maru Scenario.
This case is about when your actions waive the privilege of self defense, when you lose what the law calls "innocence" as one of the elements that prove self-defense.
It is well within the scope of a jury to conclude that threatening to blow a guy's head off and then doing exactly that constitutes waiving the privilege.
This one was about three guys chasing down a dude they perceived as being a thug. Whether he was or not is really not the issue. Ya just can’t arm yourself, chase down a guy, attempt to detain him by force or arms, shoot the guy and claim self defence.
I knew from the beginning these guys were in a whole lotta doo doo.
