I know the video is grainy but to me it looked like Arbrey charged the guy holding the gun. I think this is one of those situations where they need to come up with new sets of charges. Like the Trayvon Martin case, where Zimmerman killed him in self defense, but he is the one who instigated the incident. Arbrey wasn't cornered as they claim, he could have run off. Obviously you can't call it mutual combat when one guy is unarmed and one has a gun.

A Google search for the phrase "proportion of US population by race" (without the quotes) turned up the following link to a page at the US Census .gov site:
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fa...e/US/PST045219

Quote:
Black or African American alone, percent(a) 13.4%

If a jury has 12 members not counting alternates, and if said jury HAD to have a number of black members equal to the black percentage of the US population:

Doing some quick math I get 1.6 jurors calculated as follows:

1.6 = 0.134 x 12

That said, if I were an attorney for the defense or prosecution - and if I were trying to cherry pick jurors during voir dire:

I would be much more interested in the backgrounds and belief systems of the jurors themselves than their race.

Almost every liberal in this country does not take that into consideration. How many times do you hear them complaining about things like not enough black head coaches in the NFL or NBA, then when they are counted they usually surpass 13%.

If you think there are too many now...just wait. This is what happens when a segment of Society demonizes Law Enforcement.

Black Pastors = outside agitators, pot-stirrers, violence triggers

The legal system is in motion, all Bigot Al is there for is race baiting

I think it’s a legitimate argument. The defense is earning it’s money.

Trial on HLN TV. Getting hot as McMichael takes the stand and cross examination begins.
Tomorrow she will be getting into the shooting.
