I'm just reading there one of the jury has an extensive BLM background. It's all on his social media.
This would have been 100% intentional. I was reading before the verdict was returned that the jury was selected from a much larger pool after everyone was interviewed, audited and vetted. The state would have known fine well about this guys BLM leanings and would have been only too happy to include him on duty as part of this big stitch-up.
They even have pictures of him at one of Floyd's protests. When asked if he was a Floyd activist, he answered no he wasn't. Mind you, he's the only one that got caught. I'm sure most of the jurors had their minds made up before they entered the court room or heard any evidence.
Unless he lied during jury selection none of that (if true) matters
The Defense CHOSE this juror and had adequate time to question him.
Apologies If I've missed it (my notifications run wild when people start quoting people who quote me - and it's hard to keep track).
Can you send me the links again to where the defence selected this juror in question? interested to read about it.
He can't...because it's a lie. The Attorneys don't get to pick who is on the jury. They can move to strike people from the jury for cause (which is unlimited), or during a peremptory challenge...they only have a limited number of these (3 in most cases), and can be for any reason other then race, gender).
Certainly if the juror lied that's a major issue, or if he hide something that's a major issue. It appears that the juror did in fact attend a protest specifically for George's death. I am not sure what the questions were in voir dire, but he is certainly lying now when he is saying he didn't go to one.
