I'm not saying this to in any way insinuate that the jury was "fair", but what could they have done? According to an earlier post, of the 50 or so people who showed up for jury duty, none of them were black. If it takes having black jurors in order to have a fair jury (in a case involving a black defendant), then why didn't any of the black people who were called for jury duty report? If none were called, then what's the option (I'm asking because I have no law experience, so I honestly don't know what a solution to this problem could've been)? In a town of 2800 people, only 12% of whom are black, it's not hard to see how the jury could easily be all white.
