Mollie Tibbetts’ accused killer wants trial moved to different county due to 'minority population'

In September, Mollie’s father, Rob Tibbetts, wrote an op-ed for the Des Moines Register that his daughter would have “vehemently opposed” anti-immigration views and asked politicians to not use her death to “promote various political agendas.”

Well, sir, I'm sure she would feel differently if she could feel today...

...but she's dead, isn't she?

Sometimes you can't fix stupid.

I don’t care what the family says, this guy should have a swift trial and execution.

[Blogatron]

If he wanted to be tried in that county he should killed somebody in that county.

It’s Iowa. There are no diverse counties, unless they mean Scandinavians versus Germans.

I’m sure if a non-minority legal male citizen asked for a change of venue to ensure non-minority legal male representation on their jury it would be granted. /blackhole nova sarc

Go to any state capital and you will find a more diverse community than throughout the rest of the state.

“It’s Iowa. There are no diverse counties, unless they mean Scandinavians versus Germans.”

I resent that. My Mom was 100% Czech. (But the scandal was she married my German Dad.)

[Secret Agent Man]

yes.

[youngidiot]

We’ve perverted “a jury of your peers.”

[jjotto]

(state capital) Polk Co. 86% white
(scene of crime) Poweshiek Co. 94% white

there’s your diversity

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Magnatron. Why would more minority "representation" on the jury make any difference? Hmm?

[KyCats]

Motion denied.

[VietVet876]

In the case of OJ, would a jury of his peers also be a hung jury?

[b4me]

he should have considered this before commiting any crime!

You do a crime in a certain area you deal with the justice of that area.

what an arrogant piece of filth to even ask such a thing. He and his lawyer show they have no respect for America or what it stands for by asking for this. America is not about dicersity or making things even it’s about do as you choose and there are consequences to your choices - he chose badly he should get badly.

[The Toll]

White women need to be advised that due to their voting patterns over the past 50 years, America is no longer the type of place where they can run around outside unmolested.

[Socon-Econ]

The other side of the bias coin is that straight white male Republicans face a rotten jury pool if they are tried in the District of Columbia. Scooter Libby didn’t have a chance.

[gcparent]

Waterloo, Iowa is the most diverse city 15% AA.

[\/\/ayne]

He wants a jury of illegal aliens, no doubt.

[Vigilanteman]

Singapore would be ideal. It is only 5% white. They also hang 'em high after a fair trial and murder conviction.

Plus the people are polite and the food is great. The perp would have his choice of a number of different top notch choices as a last meal.
