[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the prosecutor is trying to get a conviction and thinks a person will automatically vote for acquittal, he will strike the person. Period. That is not racist. That is fact. As PP said, the OJ trail didn't help things.[/quote] I think the point is that, per the article, Blacks are stricken from juries at a rate of 3x that of their white counterparts. It's also true that you are not allowed to strike people for race alone. So the lawyers have to make up these dumb excuses like "he had a beard" to cover for the fact that they don't think a Black person should sit on the jury. Of course, no one wants to talk about why it is that Black Americans have less faith in the criminal justice system than their white peers. [/quote]
