How is breaking into someone's home and stabbing them to death not murder? The black jurors in this case were clearly racist. I hope the killer is convicted of murder in the retrial. I applaud the forewoman for doing the right thing in the end.

the black holdouts don’t think killing a white woman while breaking and entering should be murder

white lives don’t matter

I was on a jury, involuntary manslaughter, a kid was shooting at a rival gang member, killed the neighbor who was on his own patio grilling steaks. The jury hung on racial line, the black women wouldn’t convict because the shooter was black.

That’s how the trial system works. Unfortunately sometimes jurors are biased and they see an opportunity to “fix “ the system. Shameful.

The goal of the left is to turn jury trials into the same kabuki farce that they done to elections. It isn’t about the facts in the case; it is about stacking the jury with enough useful idiots to ensure no favored perp is ever convicted and no accused innocent person who doesn’t fit their narrative ever walks.

It won’t be long before vigilante sniper justice starts happening.

The cities will become the prisons and will be pure hell.

The Rats have already started running from them.

The black jurors in this case were clearly racist.

This is called jury nullification and when whites understand the concept, racial injustice will be less frequent.

Those jurors lied when they were interviewed for potential service as a juror and they also disregarded the instructions they were given by the judge to follow the law. Nothing but racism, IMO. They should be charged and prosecuted for perjury.

Yup. That’s why judges should be vetted.

Like so many other statutes, perjury is largely ignored which encourages more of the same.

Worse I believe she was tied up before she was killed. To me that makes the killing premeditated. O way manslaughter.

Everyone knows that the majority of racists in America can be found in black communities, esp. in cities.

This hung jury is clearly a case of racist motives. However, jury nullification and ignoring a Judge’s instructions is an important concept in American justice.

A few of the more important uses were prior to the Civil War, northern juries routinely refused to enforce the Fugitive Slave Laws, refusing to follow Judge’s instruction and refused to convict under these laws.

Same happened during Prohibition as many juries refused to convict violations of alcohol laws.

The three racist jurors in this case are not nullifying immoral or unpopular or unfair laws. They are nullifying strictly on the basis of skin color which is de facto racism.

With the mistrial, I’m certainly hoping the DA recharges the perp and tries him again.
