I Was the Only Black Person in the Entire Courtroom

During a side bar conversation without the jurors present us, prosecuting attorney geffrey shank wanted it on the record that the defence had been releasing many non white jurors. Jury consultant james mc garity doesn't actually think race would play a huge role here. Race and gender alone are typically poor predictors of whether a jury is favorable or unfavorable. In a far more reliable predictor are attitudes, beliefs and life experiences. Those things are more reliable as predictors because those are things that filter the way that human beings take in information.
