You nailed it. The verdict is going to depend on how much these six women feel threatened that race riots are going to break out. IMHO.
These jurors won’t be able to pull a Nelson and just announce their decision.
They will have to give reasons for their decision and if the reason that they give is that they are afraid of riots then they will be dismissed and the alternate appointed because they are required to consider only that evidence presented in court — and fear of rioting was not presented in the court.

Unfortunately I think the case will be decided by politics not by any form of law or sense of justice. Liberal are controlled by emotion not logic or common sense.
That is why the prosecution had no problem with all women 5 being white. As my wife so often tells me, "Girls scare easier than boys".
