I just saw the racial numbers of those who've been questioned so far and held over to be called back.
15 White
5 Black
4 Hispanics
1 Indian
This comes from HLN who provides IN Session Live Coverage. This Cable TV station capitalizes on covering these big trials and is obviously in the corner of TM. No surprise since they're owned by CNN.
We all know race is the issue that brought this case to the countries attention. My question would be [for example] if they seat 4 whites, 1 hispanic, and 1 black... would that be a problem to the extent that protests begin even before the trial starts?? Also what would be a fair racial makeup and should it be along the lines of population race percentages of local district, county, state... etc?
For instance the state of Florida racial/ethnic groups are White (57.9%) followed by Hispanic (22.5%) and Black (15.2%). This would be close to along the lines of the above.
I know this should not be an issue for jury consideration... but of course it will be.
In fact, I can almost see Jesse, Al...et al. inciting public demonstration
