My concern was not whether or not another trial would change the outcome. Obviously if he's the murderer, he should be convicted.
Rather, to me the issue seems to be that racism and discrimination against blacks, Hispanics, and so forth sometimes seriously undermines how our justice system is suppose to work.
There will surely be lots of people still around (and at an age where they still work and/or hold power) who still think that the white race is superor or who were raised by parents with such a minxdset (and share their beliefs).Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

2 injustices don´t make one right.
Just because discrimination of other people because of race (or sexual orientation) is a lesser evil than killing them for this reason there is no reason not to complain about both of them,Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

You have to think about probabilities when you are the attorneys I think. What are the probability that the potential jurer would either convict or not? That's just what I think though, not an expert or anything.Originally posted by snoopy369
The assumption then would be that black jurors are prejudiced while white jurors are not; which is a very racist assumption, and hence not permitted. It's one thing to exclude someone for cause for saying "I will not convict a black person", but you can't assume a black person will not convict a black person for the same reason you can't assume a white person will not convict a white person.

On another note, in Slowwhand's own "world" racism simply is non-existent in United States.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Attorneys are not allowed to assume that a black juror is more or less likely to convict a defendant than a white juror...Originally posted by Kidicious
