https://www.rawstory.com/richard-bigo-barnett-2659297798/Outside courthouse Bigo Barnett says he didnt get a fair trial .. claiming he didnt get a jury of his peers I asked what that meant. And his attorney Joe McBride responded for Barnett.
An attorney for an Arkansas man who was photographed with his feet on then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk complained that the trial was unfair after he was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Richard "Bigo" Barnett was found guilty Monday on all eight counts, including four felonies, following less than two hours of deliberation by a jury in U.S. District Court in Washington, and outside the courthouse his attorney complained the case was decided by individuals who had most likely voted for President Joe Biden.
"No. 1, it's not a state," said defense attorney Joseph McBride. "No. 2, he's not surrounded by a jury of his peers, a jury of people from Arkansas, a place where he came from, or a jury that has a political composition of anything that's like the rest of the United States. Washington, D.C., is something like 95, 96 percent Biden voters, right. We believe that that plays a crucial role in the political factors that are ever present in these cases."
McBride had sought unsuccessfully to have the trial moved to another venue, and he signaled that may play a role in a possible appeal.
In other words, how dare they judge a white guy from Arkansas?

Needless to say, things don't work like that.
