(4,142 posts)equating that with CBS wouldn't be my 1st choice. And I believe they were quoting a State's Attorney.
What I posted in message #36 was verbatim from the CBS affiliate in West Palm Beach, FL.
Two things:
1st. I thought that the CBS link URL had attached and it apparently did not, so here it is:

2nd. I noticed my math error because it was 1 of 6 non-white jurors which would be 16.66%, not 1 of 5 which would be the 20%. I apologize for the 3.33% mistake.
For all the coverage here in Florida (as I expect there was on networks) there were no pictures of the jurors permitted, so I am not in a position to verify CBS' coverage of the prosecutor's description of the "black or Hispanic" juror.
