Quote:“I mean it’s important if we wanna see some change, we wanna see some things going different, we gotta into these avenues, get into these rooms to try to spark some change,” he said. “Jury duty is one of those things. Jury duty. Voting. All of those things we gotta do.”

I wonder if having a BLM activist on the jury is grounds for appeal.

I wonder if this guy could be prosecuted for perjury.

Quote:Jury selection is a controversial process. Although prospective jurors are presumed to tell the truth, we know that some jurors do not tell the truth. Some jurors may give false or misleading answers inadvertently, perhaps because they do not understand the questions or because of a failure of memory. But some jurors are clearly dishonest, and deliberately lie to conceal biases, prejudices, and prejudgments, often in order to be selected to sit on the jury. A juror’s deliberate lies can imperil a defendant’s right to a fair trial and if found out, is a basis to overturn a defendant’s conviction.
