On the other hand, we&#x27;re supposed to be judged by a jury of our <i>peers</i> so, demographics aside, it&#x27;s disturbing how often a person of color is convicted by a primarily white jury. We&#x27;re seeing nationwide testimony, by how certain isolated events are receiving reactions that indicate that they aren&#x27;t isolated, that police misconduct towards minorities is far more common that we white people would like to believe. And yet this story shows just how easy it would be for the minority jury members (both in terms of race and dissenting opinion) to cave in and allow someone to be convicted based almost entirely on the presupposition that the police did nothing wrong.
