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

Good point

I’m mighty white. I think the defense would have a challenge to convince me, based on what I know of this story.

When the “nearly all-white jury” convicts these white men, it’s going to be hard to say they were racist.

1) The jury summons process is not racist 2) Many irresponsible citizens do not show up for jury duty. 3) both attorneys vet the available jurists and determine those they want to be on the jury. 4) Therefore, there is never an opportunity to make the jury pool racist, there is never an opportunity to make the selected jury racist. If certain people, who could ‘help’ the accused by being on the jury do not show up for jury duty, then the attorneys have no choice but to get the final 12 from those jurors that are responsible and show up for jury duty..

White people don’t matter anymore, didn’t you know ? That’s why they diminish our humanity by putting us in lower-case. Racist and evil.

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

The issue is whether or not the jury composition represents South Georgia, where the crime took place and all the parties involved live.

100% of the defendants are white. Shouldn’t they be judged by their peers?

A jury of YOUR (defendant) peers, not the victim’s peers, not the peers of folks living by the crime scene.

The defendant’s peers are drawn from a pool of potential jurors from the area sourrounding the court venue, which in this case is South Georgia.

Glynn county GA is only 60% white.

The notion that black jurors in this case are somehow limited by national demographics is absurd.

So you think a man struggling with a criminal over a shotgun should do... what?

"Setting up the mistrial."

Yeah on jury seating? Loooong stretch. Judge made the observation about optix and then was persuaded by the Defense they had done absolute due diligence within the parameters of the rules.

Keep in mind Kyle didn't shoot any Amish, just white trash scum, starting with a convicted pedophile.

My gut feel is Wisconsin wants this case to go away, the judge wants this case to go away, and the outcome will solely depend on his Instructions to those mostly women on the jury, plus whoever claims the Jury Foreman role.

Whoops, wrong thread.

These guys are getting off. The Rittenhouse case is more complex.

Is Monique Beals trying to set the stage for The Hill’s favorite kind of riots?

I see where the media will show a picture of the deceased in a tuxedo and the accused in t-shirts.

Reminds me of when the used a photo of Trayvon Martin as a kid during that reporting.
