U.S. Supreme Court to Consider Racial Bias in Selecting Jurors

[DGuller]

You can't give a tool to one side and not the other.

You mean like access to police resources?

Do you have any evidence of police withholding exculpatory evidence?

No.

[MadImmortalMan]

I see no reason the defense should not have more tools than the prosecution. That makes total sense.

[Eddie Teach]

And PW's suggestion is just dumb.  Either do away with pre-emptory challenges, or don't.  You can't give a tool to one side and not the other.

Heaven forbid you have to actually prove your case to one or two people who aren't conditioned to trust your judgment implicitly.

Don't know how you got from point A to point B.

Noting of course that I can't read minds, but even if I could I do not want jurors who "trust me implicitly".  I want jurors who will look at the evidence fairly and dispassionately.
