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.
