Sounds like black juries are racist against white people.
There are no Asian criminals?
I have the view that “jury of your peers” is supposed to mean people of good standing, morals, and similar, since the person on trial is supposed to be assumed innocent until proven guilty.
jury of peers likely never was intended to mean “looks like you”.
I was caught in several race riots in the first year of integration in schools. I was twice knocked completely unconscious in what is now called the knockout game. While I’ve known a handful of amazing black professionals in my career, my take on the average black you’ll meet on the street is to stay well clear and keep an eye on him. Prejudice is another word for learned response. You’d be an idiot not to remain hyper aware of your surroundings in, say, the Walmart parking lot. Having said that, I believe I can put that aside and evaluate the evidence. If the prosecution can make the case, then I’ll convict. If it comes down to the word of a cop, regardless of the cop’s color, I’ll go with the cop.
By the way, I believe those two incidents in high school have left me with some permanent damage. The level of what I’ll call “natural cultural violence” was exponentially higher in the black teenagers than in all the nasty whites I had ever encountered. There were razor slashings and two murders. In all the white-on-white fights I never saw or heard of a weapon being used.
They use the word juries, not jurors. How often is a jury all black or all white? This study sounds messed up. They aren’t tracking what a jury does the vast majority of times when juries are mixed?
Yet another study giving the lie to the old “only whites can be racist” canard.
Terrible post, no cite of the study.
While I don’t doubt it due to what I see in the world, SOURCES people!
I haven’t received a jury summons since I became a Trump donor almost a decade ago.
Neither has hubby.
Are Trump donors being weeded out of jury pools...?
Inquiring minds want to know.
BTW, crime stats suggest that victims of crime tend to be victimized by a perp/s with a similar skin color.
High conviction rates of defendants of color from juries with people who look like the perp, well, that doesn’t surprise me at all.
I doubt if anyone with one neuron still firing is surprised by this.
Most juries are clown shows. Clowns trying to play God. They are worse than U.S. Dipstick “judges” in the far-left’s ACME Judiciary Tree House Club.
