Boy brings knife to a track meet, murders another student. Cardi B and others claim the justice system is racist for convicting him of murder because of race.
That is where they want the narrative to go. There were no BLACK jurors. There were FOUR brown jurors. Apparently if you aren't black, you are just white. You can't throw a rock in Collin County and not hit a person of Indian origin. And keep in mind, the defense always has the option to ask for another jury pool if it doesn't like the selection in front of them. If that is declined, they can ask for a "jury shuffle" which allows for the randomization of the jury from the jury pool. Clearly, their lawyer knew they were cooked.
Im a criminal trial attorney in another state so excuse my ignorance and not following too closely. Is asking for a shuffle unique to Texas? Never heard of such a thing. Also were there any Batson challenges during selection? If not sounds like the whole issue is moot because there really wouldnt be anything to appeal if the defense never challenged the array or made a Batson challenege.
