And of course, even though this jury didn&#x27;t convict the defendant, seemingly correctly (at least from the author&#x27;s perspective), it&#x27;s entirely possible for the prosecutor to move for a retrial, and this time keep all the black men off the jury, and get a conviction. Or if the defendant isn&#x27;t out on bail, or maybe even if he is, to convince him to take a plea bargain to second degree murder, or manslaughter.
