He was biased. He said he was biased. He even mentioned bias against certain races. Obviously shouldn't have been on the jury.
My point is made by your post. Thank you.Yes.” Ibid. He explained that “statistics show more violent crimes are committed by certain races. I believe in statistics.”
He said he wasn't biased.He said he was biased.
He stated that crime statistics show certain races commit more violent crime when asked about differences in violence between races. This is factually accurate. He went on to say that he did not believe that individuals are more violent because of their race. His responses to these questions are sworn statements. He cannot lie to be politically correct. Are you suggesting people who know and cite crime statistics cannot sit on a jury?He even mentioned bias against certain races.
My point is made by your post. Thank you.
No, he said he was, and based it on "statistics". That's still bias.He said he wasn't biased.

How can you not see that as an admission of bias? He told the judge up front he believed the race of the defendant committed more crimes. That's a bias.Why is it that facts be damned for your personal narrative of reality?
His statement of, “statistics show more violent crimes are committed by certain races. I believe in statistics” establishes your narrative of bias how exactly?
He didn’t identify ANY specific race of the plural “races.”
He did not say “blacks.”
He didn’t say any specific person of a specific race is more likely.
He did not say the defendant was more likely because of defendant’s race.
He cited to data.
And he acknowledged such data cannot be relied upon to determine whether the defendant is or isn’t more likely. He realized such data will not permit him to draw a conclusion of a likelihood on behalf of the black defendant. “[H]e did not “think because of somebody’s race they’re more likely to commit a crime than somebody of a different race,” id., at 145. He told defense counsel that he would not feel differently about Love “because he’s an African American.”
Those facts lend support to your narrative of bias? How?

Except his own words.Because there aren’t any facts supporting the bias you allege,
No he didn't. Provide a direct quote rather than making false allegations.How can you not see that as an admission of bias? He told the judge up front he believed the race of the defendant committed more crimes. That's a bias.
Yup, should be obvious to everybody except of course racist shitty people right wingersHe was biased. He said he was biased. He even mentioned bias against certain races. Obviously shouldn't have been on the jury.
No he didn't. Provide a direct quote rather than making false allegations.
Then cite the direct quote where he admitted he had racial bias. It's not a hard question.Its in your own opening post, for the love of god you people are so pathetic
Back story: A man was convicted of committing a murder for hire. A woman hired the defendant to kill the new girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend. He shot her as she was getting into her car. Police found the suspects after picking up the getaway driver. The jury selection process had two questions that are of issue with this appeal.
68. Do you sometimes personally harbor bias against members of certain races or ethnic groups?
69. Do you believe that some races and/or ethnic groups tend to be more violent than others?” Jury Questionnaire, p. 12 (Juror 1136B).
A juror answered “No” to question number 68 and in response to question number 69 he stated that “Statistics show more violent crimes are committed by certain races. I believe in statistics.” Later in the vior dire he expanded that his response was based purely on statistics and not on his personal beliefs. He further explained that he would not expect an individual to be more violent based on their race. He said his view came from criminology courses and news reports. The defense had used up all of their strikes on other potential jurors and the judge allowed his defense to strike an additional two jurors on top of that. But, they were unable to have this juror removed from the pool because they were all used up. After the unanimous conviction he appealed based on a racially biased jury member. His first appeal was denied on the basis that he was already granted more strikes than he was allowed. So it went to the Supreme Court where his appeal was denied.
Sotomayor wrote the dissenting opinion. Her opinion is a little messy. For example, she says things like when a juror makes a “clear statement [of racial bias] that influences a decision” the courts need to make an exception. This never happened and she doesn’t claim that it did either. She just felt the need to make the statement in her dissent I presume to fill up space and to muddy the water. She goes on to make statements including things like “in certain circumstances” and “in some instances” without correlating it to the juror’s statements. She also writes that the appeals court ”assumed” he was biased and effectively didn’t care. She claims the decision was “plainly erroneous.” This is also a misrepresentation. The appeals court said the judge followed protocol and made the correct decision because the juror wasn’t biased. The appeals court added that “even if” the juror had some bias (which they did not allege) the appeal would still fail because they used more strikes than they were allowed under state law. So effectively, the courts liberals believe that a juror who cites criminal statistics is grounds for a new trial and tossing a conviction.

it's in your damn OP, stop being a lazy disingenuous lazy trollThen cite the direct quote where he admitted he had racial bias. It's not a hard question.
And if he admitted it why didn't the appeals court or the Supreme Court cite it? Because it never happened.
A juror answered “No” to question number 68 and in response to question number 69 he stated that “Statistics show more violent crimes are committed by certain races. I believe in statistics
Nobody has cited where the juror admitted he had racial bias. If it's so obvious why can't you provide a direct quote? Citing statistics isn't bias. No judge, not even Sotomayor or Kagan, agreed. It never happened. If it did the the appeals court and Supreme Court decisions would have cited it and discussed it as part of their rulings and dissents. And Sotomayor's dissent had some absurd defenses in it. If he admitted bias she would have used it.it's in your damn OP, stop being a lazy disingenuous lazy troll
that's bias, no matter what moronic shit you try to claim, that's admitted bias
