Who said anything about overturning juries?
Post 6, for one. Anyone on this thread who decries the conviction of these folks on the basis of this screed, for another. And that is EXACTLY the result this paper wants--they would prefer that the convictions BY JURY of these people are vacated and the juries in these areas are basically neutered either by reversal on appeal or broadening jury pools to the point that crimes would have to be tried in big-city convention halls so the jury was 'unbiased' (unbiased being lawyer-speak for 'willing to acquit guilty folks').
I don't like the law, these folks sure got spun as nice folks who are victims of a corrupt system, but the fact is the law IS the law, and they were convicted within the system. Playing the race card and whining about how corrupt justice is in East Texas ignores the fact that all these 'railroaded' folks had a jury vote to convict `em.
