That’s because black women stand by their men. Marcia Clark thought that by picking black females she’d get a win due to the domestic violence issue. Juror consultants who the state had hired told her she was wrong and that black females would be way more sympathic toward OJ than even black men would.
The prosecution doesn’t have to worry in this case though. White females sold out a long time ago.
I do think a few of the females on this panel look pro defense but we’ll see.
“Juror consultants who the state had hired told her she was wrong...”
Yes, I read a long “post mortem” in the New Yorker and it really focused on that. Clark had done very well before Juries before (remember she prosecuted that nut who killed that young actress who was on “My Sister Same”, something like that) and she just wouldn’t accept that this case was going to be different.
But I also have a question, can anyone explain to me why there is only a six member jury for this serious murder trial? Why not 12?
