At least one said that. According to the AI Leo:
Quote:
Yes, during the jury selection for Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial in Collin County, Texas, all prospective Black jurors were dismissed by the prosecution, resulting in an all-white jury. This occurred despite Anthony’s defense team filing a Batson challenge, a legal objection used when race-based discrimination in jury selection is suspected
Key Details:
The Dismissals: Prosecutors used peremptory strikes to remove the last three remaining Black prospective jurors, all of whom were women and working educators
Prosecution’s Reason: The state claimed these jurors were dismissed because they were educators, arguing they might be biased in a case involving a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet
Defense’s Objection: The defense argued this was a pretext for racial discrimination, noting that a white educator was not struck and that 100% of available Black jurors were eliminated
Judge’s Ruling: Presiding Judge John Roach Jr. accepted the prosecution’s “race-neutral” explanation and denied the Batson challenge, allowing the all-white jury to be seated
One prospective Black juror had even stated they would “have a hard time putting a brother in jail,” which prosecutors cited as a reason for dismissal, though the defense contended this reflected a legitimate concern about fairness rather than racial bias
The trial concluded on June 9, 2026, with the jury finding Anthony guilty of first-degree murder and sentencing him to 35 years in prison
1. His legal team is expected to appeal, likely focusing on the jury selection process as a key issue
This case has sparked national debate about the effectiveness of Batson challenges and whether the legal system adequately prevents racial bias in jury selection

Incorrect. Karmelo Anthony's jury was not all white. It had no Black jurors, but multiple reports confirm the 12-person jury included racial minorities beyond white jurors.
It wasn’t an all white jury. There were at least three different races on that jury.
More proof that AI shouldn't be taken as gospel. This is blatantly false.
