00:00You're supposed to have a jury of your peers and you're not supposed to just strike someone
00:04because they're black.
00:05And in this case, they gave the reasoning that they're educators and this happened,
00:11these were high school students, and this happened at a school track meet.
00:14So they couldn't be impartial because of that.
00:16I don't think that's an appropriate reason to strike black jurors, especially when it's
00:24a young black teenager on trial.
00:27And especially when that particular area is made up of 10% of an African American community.
00:32So I don't think he got a jury of his peers.
