I will try my best not to be rude here...the race card had absolutely nothing to do with this case. How is that, you ask?
7 of the 12 jurors were black. The first guy he shot that day (in the face by the way) was, you guessed it, black. Almost all of the people who testified against him were, holycraphowdidthishappen, BLACK.
This wasn't about race. If you read between the lines, it wasn't even about the constitutionality of the death penalty (they tried to argue this one, too).
This was about a last ditch effort of a guilty, gun-wielding thug trying to save himself. Spare me.
