compared to whites. one white guy was dismissed for saying blacks get worse punishment for the same cimes that a white person would get less for.

i don't know the makeup of this area but based on some stuff i read it looks like there are more whites who seem to recognize the unfairness in the system in this area.

but they just need one and if they can get at least idiots for the rest of the jury that's all it would take to get him off.
