@Resistculturaldecline To represent the population in Chicago, there should have been 4 black jurors. There is less than a 1% chance of having only 1 Black juror if its all random. Actually it's a 0.000166788% chance. The reason it matters is because if you remember history, all-white juries had a habit of convicting Black people of crimes they knew they didn't commit. Given that the jury needs to be unanimous on a guilty verdict, it is highly suspect when they get rid of all the Black people during jury selection.

@Mrcool19771 Jussie's lawyers could get rid of jurors, yes. But prosecutors could all strike jurors from the pool. Apparently the prosecutors felt only a single Black person was unbiased. For a jury of 12 in a city that is one-third Black. Not that Jussie is innocent, but there's still something wrong with that. Less than a 1% chance of that happening randomly.

@llwc9435 He never thought the police would actually investigate. He just wanted the media attention.

@kasey9067 It's because the city of Chicago is one-third Black. There is a 0.000166788% chance of ending up with a jury of 12 people with just one Black person if it is all random. Basically impossible. Like the guy said, there were more, but they were all struck from the jury pool before trial. As for why it matters, all-white juries have a dark history when it comes to judging Black people in court.

@Misaka-gt5yj Identity politics? Really? It's because the city of Chicago is one-third Black.

@JR-lg8sq Not exactly. The other two were not on trial for a crime.
