What Is A "Jury of your peers"?

[jc456]

Blacks in Manhattan likely live in Harlem. There is a courthouse in Harlem, and if the criminal committed his crime there, he would likely have several voting black citizens selected as jurists.

So you are saying peer isn’t any good

That’s when you get a change of venue. Trump couldn’t prove that was a problem in NY, where he did get many votes.

LOL. Thanks for admitting how biased the whole thing was.

Tell that to blacks in the US.

Are you a Klanner? You're obviously a frustrated racist. Did you find Obama hurtful?

Nebulous plus not relevant to definition of peer

Says you. The generally recognized legal definition of peer is just an adult citizen in the same general area.

You're rejecting that, and insist you know better. Why are you a better source than decades of legal precedent?

We don't judge people by the color of their skin. So if the defendants lawyers picked / agreed that the 12 white people were impartial,
That's O.K.

Tell that to the black person on trial. I doubt they would agree with you.

So an all white jury is a jury of a black person’s peer group huh?

Can be. And has been. Black people who are defendants have never been legally entitled to a jury with blacks on it.

You really need help. MAY BE U go BackAgain and get a Liability specialist

ordinary citizens, especially if they all stand for truth justice and the American way.

Exactly. A superhero's peers are not other superheroes, just like a rich mans peers aren't other rich men. Or a plumber, other plumbers.

 

[Independent thinker]

Says you, citing yourself. Which isn't a legal standard.

Meanwhile, every court to review the case so far, State of Federal, has found it to be compliant with constitutional requirements. But you say differently, citing yourself.

Why would I ignore every court to review this case, and instead believe some random soul on the internet that insists he knows better?

Ummmmmmmmmmm, there hasn't even been an appeal yet.

If I understand you correctly then you're saying the Trump trial wasn't fair because the jury pool was from a very highly democratic pool.

No i'm saying it would be so, if it was from an "exclusively" democratic pool.

And in politics party isn’t the same

 

[Dante]

I don't understand the term. Would black people say that when a black person is tried with an all white or mostly white jury that it would be called a jury of your peers? What about if you are a staunch Republican (we'll just call him Donald J Trump) and you have a trial in a deep blue city inside a deep blue state (with a deep blue DA and deep blue prosecutors and a deep blue judge)? Would that be called a jury of your peers? What in the hell is a peer?

You actually do not know? You should not be allowed to post here if you do not.

This is an American message board. Not knowing what a jury of your peers is, means you never had a civics class in your lifetime or worse -- you have irreversible brain damage.

Did you have a straight face

Blacks in Manhattan likely live in Harlem. There is a courthouse in Harlem, and if the criminal committed his crime there, he would likely have several voting black citizens selected as jurists.

And yet Trump's jurors all came from a deep blue jury pool.

 

[jc456]

Trump got over 3 million votes in New York at about 37% of voters.

are you suggesting that was in the precinct by the court? hahahaahahahahaahahahaaha

he couldn't have written that with a straight face. no fking way!

I'm just pointing out that a jury of your peers is a crock of shit.

Then we can agree that half the country are racists and possible Klanners. I have no interest in arguing their politics.
It's all good!

Ironically, republicans are more likely to convict someone, than democrats are.
