Arriving in shackles to be charged. Not presented to a jury in shackles.
"Arriving in shackles to be charged. Not presented to a jury in shackles."
I believe you are correct. They file in and sit before the judge. No jury is present.
So the problem is with the jury? The jury is treated like they are going to be impartial, and in turn are put at risk? If ALL accused criminals-those on trial for a violent crime (black, white, or whatever race) were presented to a jury in handcuffs-there would be no profiling. The jury would understand that this is a normal safety measure and all "accused" criminals are treated the same.
