i remember being in the courtroom with george floyd s family, and they said that a policemen just ten miles from the courthouse in minneapolis just killed a 20-year-old unarmed man. and that is how we ended up with the attorney ben crump, went out there, ut got involved, i did the eulogy, some rallies for them, and the family is then close. i think what it does mean we are beginning to see we can win cases even with a majority white jury. don t forget, there were 11 whites on the jury in brunswick, georgia. yes. they looked past color and went for justice. nine whites on this jury. but we do not, in my opinion, do ourselves well to keep going trial by trial. we need laws. we need the george floyd law. we need laws so that every trial we are not feeling like we are sitting at the edge of our seats or like we are playing russian

how do you explain that in. when you have a mostly all white jury, they don t bode well in a lashl charged case such as the kyle rittenhouse case. even though the victims in the kyle rittenhouse case were white, they were there protesting black lives matter. in this case it s doubly troubling because what you have is the judge saying to the prosecution you cannot call the victims victims, which is exactly what they are, but you can call the victims rooters, violators, et cetera. you can call them centimeters but you can t call them rioters. when we see these cases play out, it s a problem. we appreciate your analysis. coming up, some expert say

The Chauvin Trial’s Jury Wasn’t Like Other Juries
Its guilty verdict resulted not just from the strength of the evidence, but from a jury-selection process that departed from American norms.

The jury convicted the former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin on the weight of the evidence before it: video footage, expert testimony, and eyewitness accounts.
But even with all that evidence, convictions don’t happen on their own. Twelve people, selected by lot from the public, must come to a unanimous decision. That jury who it comprised, how those people saw the world was of enormous consequence. This wasn’t just any jury, and the difference that made should invite a major reckoning with how juries the deciding bodies of the country’s judicial system are selected in America.
