Juror in 'Loud Music' Trial Wanted Murder Conviction

[SkyDaddy7]

16. EXACTLY!!

There are those who under no circumstance would ever convict a white man of murdering an African American regardless of how the prosecutor tried the case!!

I wish some here would stop blaming the prosecutor as they did their job as best they could in the confines of Florida Law...I have sat in on picking countless juries for many different criminal trials & it is at best an educated guessing game on what the jurors picked are going to do. Especially, when it comes to a case like this because potential jurors will LIE when questioned about race & have already made up their mind before the trial ever starts! And it is impossible to bring perjury charges against someone for being a racist.

I witnessed a really SAD & DISGUSTING trial that had to do with an elderly African American couple who was murdered with an ax. The murdered elderly couple's 15yr old granddaughter's "boyfriend" had already been convicted for the murder & was awaiting execution but the state of Georgia decided to try the 15yr old granddaughter for murder as well since she was with her so-called 37yr old boyfriend & his two accomplices both of who were in their 30's. The disgusting part is the State of Georgia, particularly the prosecutor & judge I honestly think were old school racist, decided to charge the 15yr old despite the fact they knew the age difference between the 15yr old & her 37yr old "boyfriend" who they knew forced the 15yr old to work the streets & who almost everyone on the "street" FEARED!! The man was known for cutting a man's head off & getting off in court yet the prosecutor & the judge blamed the 15yr old for the crime taking place because one of the male accomplices scared he was going to get the death penalty turn state's evidence by saying the 15yr old girl planned the entire thing! He tried to say she had them come to her grandparents to rob them despite the fact two of the men had testified she was screaming & puking as the ax murder took place & she even threw up in the car after the murders & her 37yr old "boyfriend" slapped her face & told her to shut the fuck up or she would be next!! But the state of Georgia went ahead with trying her on 37 felony counts...The lawyer I worked for managed to get her acquitted on all the charges except ONE & that was a possession of stolen property which ended in a hung jury...11 to acquit & 1 to convict! The state of Georgia actually retried her on the possession charge however one of the jurors, older white male, actually said during deliberations that "They were all "thugs" & need to be treated as such!" including the 15yr old girl & that she needed to be punished for what happened to her grandparents yet he was allowed to remain on the jury! And again it ended in a mistrial 11 to acquit & 1 to convict with the "one" being the white male who made such racist comments & was allowed to remain.

The truly SAD part is the state decided to try her again!! This time she had different lawyers & she was convicted...The judge gave her the max of 10yrs!!!

The entire case still haunts me...And I am a white male!
