Judge seats nearly all-white jury to hear Ahmaud Arbery case
The Hill ^ | 11/04/2021 | MONIQUE BEALS

The jury that will consider the fates of three white men accused of killing a Black jogger consists of 11 white people and a single Black member.

Prosecutors in the Ahmaud Arbery case, which drew national attention last year, blame defense attorneys for rejecting Black jurors, according to The New York Times.

Lee Merritt, an attorney for Arbery's family, said on Twitter that the defense team had 24 strikes and 11 of the strikes were directed at Black people who might otherwise have been placed on the jury.

Only blacks are capable of determining justice — just ask O.J.

“Nearly all white?”

It’s either all white or it is not all white. Enough with the language mangling.

This habitual out of control racism at The Hill is despicable beyond words. How about they stop being mindless bigots looking at every single issue through the prism of race?

Beuler, what is the percentage of blacks in America? And should a jury have more or less than that number?

I think that is the going ratio of blacks to whites.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the Constitution require a jury of the DEFENDANT’s peers- not the victims???

If the prosecution did their job, they’ll have made sure all the whites on that jury are squishy leftist Karens and metrosexuals, wracked by white guilt. If so, conviction is guaranteed.

The accused are white, correct? And isn’t a jury to be made up of the accused peers? So ... what’s the problem?

So that means it was more bias against whites. Sounds fair to me!

So White people are not good enough to be jurors?

Good! I hope they got a couple of secretive white supremacist, racist, white nationalist types who have Rebel Flags hanging in their den on the jury! And if that black rascal was “jogging”, then I am Santa Claus.

The defense team wants an acquittal and the resulting race riots. They are white supremacists and only let one black member on the jury after he declared that he identified as a viking warrior.

When we had a Constitution. But the Coup in 2020 that took President out of Office and installed Joe Biden took care of the Constitution. Did you sleep through it? Most did. The Election was stolen by the Democrat Party aided and abetted by the Republican Party. And very, very few cared.

So, more than half of their strikes were directed at White people. Why wasn't this the story? As if I don't know.

Maybe they want a fair jury and not a George Floyd case or OJ jury.
