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.

This process has been in place forever. The defendant in ALL cases must be dressed in a suit or other appropriate CONSERVATIVE attire.

No T shirts, cutoffs, or other street type clothing.
