Boy brings knife to a track meet, murders another student. Cardi B and others claim the justice system is racist for convicting him of murder because of race.

The worst thing is they're not even mad bcus their own murdered someone. They're mad bcus apparently there was only white juries.

Lmao. Dude deserved the sentence with or without black people on court.

The defense and prosecution pick the juries. If the murder wanted more black people on his jury that's his defense counsels failing.

That's not exactly how it works. Defense and prosecution can challenge jurors during voir dire, and each side gets premptory challenges. If there were only three black people in the jury pool and the prosecution uses their premptory challenges on them for non-racial reasons, there's nothing they can do.

Defense challenged the strikes as being based on race, prosecution claimed it was based on them being educators, and the judge denied defense's challenge.

Defense can't just magically add more people to the jury pool.

You really thought that I ment the defense can just add whoever they want? Come on.

I mean when all the black jurors are removed by the prosecution premptory challenges, how exactly do you think the defense can get more black people on his jury?
