Chauvin Murder Trial

[Brian37]

I get the emotion, but the issue isn't one jury or one case. The issue is changing our system long term, not getting rid of juries. 

I do believe that the DA has noted that if it is hung, that they would try again. But I think a hung jury is going to be hard with this jury because several of the jurrors are black, including black women.

You realize that you statement about the jury is racist as hell, right?

You are assuming they will vote a certain way based solely on their race.

Back up and start over.

No, sorry, you don't get to decide for me what thoughts are in my head.

No, I am not assuming that blacks will vote to convict just because Chauvin is white. I am saying that it is a mixed jury, and I am quite sure prior to this case, both white jurors and black jurors are bringing their life's experiences into it. Not evidence wise, but climate wise.  I am sure both the defense lawyer and prosecutor saught to place jurors on the jury that would be as objective as possible. But it is still a mixed jury. 

Unlike back in the 60s and prior, the juries were stacked. Don't falsely accuse me of claiming the prosecutor put blacks on the jury just to convict a white cop.
