THE COLOR OF THE JURY IS NOW A BIG ISSUE IN THE CASE!A young woman who says she was raped once is among the jurors who will sit on R. Kelly's child pornography trial. Jury selection at the case in Chicago is now complete, with all 16 members of the panel in place -- 12 jurors and four alternates. And now that the jury has been chosen an argument has broken out between the two sides over the racial makeup of the panel. One of R. Kelly's attorneys says the prosecution has been using its challenges to exclude blacks while prosecutors told the judge the defense used all six of their preemptory strikes against whites who were potential members of the jury. The R&B superstar is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl as young as 13 years old. Opening arguments are set for next week.
With R. Kelly... it's not even about race...
ReplyDeleteThe defense needs to get rid of anyone with young daughters especially if they have a close relationship with them...
The prosecutors need to get rid of any man who may be perceived as those "dirty old men who like young women", single men with younger girlfriends, or married men who may cheat...
Yes, but we all know that only the prosecution are the racist ones here.
