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. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. ....

Most likely. Even if his defense counsel was only so/so, they would have preserved something like that for the record. 1st-Year Law.
The problem with professors is they like to talk out their a@@es.
The jury selection was fair.
Any billionaires would have had to recuse themselves, because they’re his crowd, unless of course they hate him with a passion, in which case, they’d have been allowed to serve.
I once got a jury summons. I showed up, waited in a line for hours, and after they stamped my summons, I never reported for duty. I was working for a law office, so they probably would have excluded me anyway.
Yeah, that’s a lie. His peers are his fellow citizens. Defendants are not entitled to have fellow ethnic tribe members who will vote to acquit no matter what on the jury.
They were racists! Whites, after all.
Everyone is in awe of their pearls of wiz-dumb.
He needs a jury of black people who think it’s OK to murder white people.
Why was no one who knew him, besides his mother, willing to testify on his behalf? We are told he was an ‘honor roll’ student, held down two jobs, was a star athlete, yet no employer, coach, teacher, team mate, nor fellow student told the court what a great guy he was. Wonder why?
Come back when you learn to read.
Pure B.S. The defense has a say in jury selection. It was very fair trial and the creep was very guilty of murder. Move on. His chance for parole is in 17.5 years.
I’m so sick of the word “folks” being used when liberals are discussing racial issues.
Alright! This ditzy bimbette is talking segregation! Now we’re getting somewhere. Africans are not compatible with Americans. Burlette is a real loser. Not all minorities are the same. Sorry Burly. You don’t get a jury of Africans if you murder a white person. White people need some “due process” and “justice” too. The O.J. days are gone. Get a life bigot.
So what IS a jury of his peers, thugs and criminals..gee in NYC did Trump get a trial by a “Jury of his peers” NO, it was all Trump haters, did that get tossed out, NOPE
Harvard is the college that dummies go to because the policy there is that all students regardless of the color of their skin get straight “A”s. Harvard tried to dump that policy last year but the baby Harveys cried and threw tantrums.
In the USA everyone is a commoner and legally your peer.
It does not mean a jury of your "bros".
Typical Democrat fast shuffle of an argument.
And it's really about promoting criminal behavior as a revolutionary force.
Bear in mind black get off easy killing blacks all the time.
But that's just part of their culture and none of Whitey's business.
Interact with blacks at all, play by their rules. That's the ticket.
So the professor believes it is Racist to hold young blacks to the same standards as white people?
Seems like the thinking about “a jury of peers” would have to work both ways on something like this & decisions based on that might still cause serious problems for some in the community, or even on a national basis.
“The term “peer” just means citizen: In the eyes of the law, every adult citizen is considered your “peer”.”
Thass' racist.
Or something.
