https://ahmaud.org/Attorneys criticize jury selection in the trial of the men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery as court prepares for opening statements
https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/04/us/ahmaud-arbery-mcmichael-bryan-trial/index.html
Those questions targeted Black jurors for exclusion and it was disingenuous for the defense to "pretend this was about anything but getting rid of Black jurors," she said, calling it "one of the most racially discriminatory and unfair processes I've seen in my life."
"There is so much wrong with what has happened in this trial. It has been racialized from the beginning," said Arnwine, who has accompanied Arbery's father to court each day. "That was done purposefully by the defense."
About 25% of the population down there is black - and they could only find ONE black juror?
Watch these three asshole slobs get off.
I hope to god I'm wrong - but we've seen it time and again.

They are not going to let white people go to jail for murdering a black man.

Took 74 days to arrest the murderers
Cop interviews the murderers and calls them witnesses in official paperwork.
DA tells cops not to make arrest
Local judge said no arrests should be made and later is forced to recuse himself
DA finally gets charged with obstruction and violating her oath
If this fails, I hope we get federal charges against them.

Civil Rights violation? Basically - it was lynching by gun
