A Black defendant’s right to a fair trial would be harmed if the jury heard the case in a courtroom lined with portraits of white jurists, a northern Virginia judge has ruled.
The upcoming trial of Terrance Shipp on charges of eluding police will be held in a courtroom that has no portraits on the wall, said Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge David Bernhard.
Bernhard noted that his usual courtroom has no portraits. But jury trials that were postponed during the coronavirus pandemics are now being held in larger courtrooms. The walls of those rooms are lined with portraits of retired judges who are overwhelmingly white, he said.

While he is at it, why not proclaim that all documents related to the case be printed on black paper, with slightly blacker ink?
Oh, and make sure the restrooms in the courthouse not have white toilets and sinks.
Then we should put up wall to wall Clarence Thomas portraits for him.
