And the defense has the gall to complain that there weren't enough good ol' boys in the jury pool, un-be-fuking-leivable. Trial's gonna be a fucking joke

"There's a black person in there! They're obviously going to be biased!"

The judge himself is a good ol' boy.

Apparently having a famous black man in the courtroom is "pressuring the jury".

I mean, either he's there to try to influence the jury with his presence, or he's there just to maintain his own fame, both are pretty objectionable. Al Sharpton is genuinely a once-in-a-century level grifter.

Jesse Jackson is a dramatically more respectable human being than Al Sharpton. I would say with confidence that he was definitely there to try to influence the jury with his presence.

Not to that scale. Al Sharpton has profited by lying and instigating violence, lost civil suits against him for these things, and gotten other people to voluntarily pay for the damages. That is a talent I genuinely believe to be incomparable to anyone else alive.

So what? Why shouldn't black pastors be allowed to observe? If an audience member can influence the trial just by being there, the trial is a joke.

It might be because I watch channels like Lawful Masses, where they go through lots of ridiculous civil suits
