I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable.

I would only want rural country folks (preferable cowboys) on mine no city folk.
A Texas jury had no problem back in the day convicting those two racist f@#$-wits of dragging poor Mr. Byrd to death behind their pickup, and sentencing them to death. What was the racial makeup of that jury.

So everyone is “unique”, thus requiring a very specific “peer”
So, I need twelve 6’3 men over 60, college grad, ex-military, father, Grandfather, Eagle Scout, has hobbies like restoring classic vehicles, fishing, boating, white water rafting.
Otherwise, I call for Jury Nullification.
Are you planning to kill someone in a county that has both city and rural potential jurists in its pool?
Have you been naughty;-}?
Those are those things that jut out into the water, and people fish off them, I think.
I have no piers. And I acquit myself of any wrong-doings in advance.
Karmelo is being treated differently than the defendants who were found not guilty.
THE MOST LIKELY ANSWER
It’s like a knife is the guy’s passy or something. He’s suspended for having one and ends up with another on school grounds where no weapons are allowed.

Hey that was easy for me as well .
“Peers” has nothing at all to do with race, certainly not in the Sixth Amendment.
All of the Trump circus trials never gave him a jury of his peers.
I think she’s talking about a “Walker Motion” that can be made during jury selection. I think the prosecution probably met its burden in establishing absence of bias by proffering legitimate and practical grounds for exercising its challenges.
It’s Jim Crow 2.0, is what it is. Next we’ll have “separate but equal” juries. I wonder who’ll be confined to the back of the bus now.
