#DougEvans made similar maneuvers during Pitchford’s trial, selecting a disproportionate number of #White #jurors compared with Black ones….By the time the judge had excused various potential jurors, the pool was composed of 36 White & 5 Black people.
Evans then used 7 peremptory challenges to strike 4 of the 5 #Black prospective jurors….He had marked up his juror list by placing a “W” next to the names of the White people & “B” next to the names of Black people, court records show.

It is the second time #SCOTUS has effectively thrown out a #capital case after the same #Mississippi prosecutor was accused of excluding #Black #jurors.
Pitchford was convicted of murder in 2006 & sentenced to death by a jury in Mississippi. It was his partner who fatally shot shop owner Reuben Britt with a .22-caliber pistol during the armed robbery, acc/to court filings. Pitchford, who was 18 at the time of the robbery, was accused of being an accomplice.

#SCOTUS Thursday sided with a Mississippi man who was sent to #DeathRow for his role in the murder of shopkeeper, upholding a lower court’s decision to vacate his conviction because of potential #RacialBias in #JurySelection.
In a 5-4 vote, the court found #TerryPitchford, who is #Black, did not have the opportunity to challenge the dismissal of 4 Black potential #jurors.#law #racism

The Broadview Six are protestors who were assaulted by ICE in Chicago, arrested and charged. It turns out that Federal Prosecutors contacted the Grand Jury members outside of the courtroom, so the judge threw out the case! The Sun-Times and WBEZ:
#CriminalSyndicate #CorruptDOJ #doj #corruption #JuryTampering“#ChicagoIL U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros may have had personal contact with grand jurors in the prosecution against the group of Operation Midway Blitz protesters known as the “Broadview Six,” a defense attorney told a judge today.
“U.S. District Judge April Perry summoned lawyers into her chambers to discuss the question out of earshot from the public, my colleague Jon Seidel reports for the Chicago Sun-Times. Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur said it should be discussed privately because it involved grand jury proceedings.
“The case fell apart, days before trial, after Perry discovered improprieties during grand jury proceedings. The alleged misconduct came to light only after a lengthy push by defense attorneys to get Perry to review unredacted transcripts of what occurred.
“It included a prosecutor improperly putting her personal credibility on the line to support criminal charges, a prosecutor having substantive contact with grand jurors outside the grand jury room and a prosecutor excusing grand #jurors who disagreed with the case”. [Chicago Sun-Times]

Fitzpatrick raised sharp doubts about an account of the #GrandJury proceedings provided by the #DOJ & whether it had turned over all records of the interactions between #LindseyHalligan & the grand #jurors. He noted that Halligan had claimed she had her last contact with the grand jury at 4:28PM that day, while the jurors were deliberating.

"Orrick is a big corporate law firm that represents the kinds of companies that might find their future in the hands of a jury in a state or federal courthouse. Orrick periodically surveys representative samples of people who show up for jury service to get a picture of their attitude towards the kinds of companies that can afford to hire a firm like theirs:
(...)
Their latest report contrasts the results of a pre-pandemic 2019 survey with a 2025 survey of 1,011 jurors in California, Florida, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, New Jersey, and New York.They found that jurors' trust in the court system has plummeted since 2019 (67% in 2019, 48% in 2025); hostility to cops has tripled (11% to 33%); anti-corporate sentiment is way up (27% then, 45% now). The percentage of jurors who believe that they should use the courts to "sent messages to companies to improve their behavior" has risen from 58% to 62%; and 77% want to award punitive damages to "punish a corporation" (up from 69%).
And jurors are notably hostile to pharma companies, energy companies and large banks, but they especially hate social media companies.
It's no wonder that corporations are so desperate to take away our right to sue them, and why "binding arbitration" clauses that permanently confiscate your legal rights are now part of every corner of modern life:"

A #Scottish #neoNazi who amassed an #armoury at his home with which to launch an #attack on the #LGBTQ+ #community, is facing a lengthy #jail #sentence after being found #guilty of #terrorism charges.
The #jurors heard that 54-year-old #AlanEdward, held “a set of ideals with a #neoNazi #outlook, incorporating notions of #whitesupremacy, the notion of #racialpurity of #whites, #racism, #antisemitism, and #hatred of #homosexuals and #transgender #people.”

An #Arizona #GrandJury that indicted 18 #TrumpAllies this spring for their role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election had expressed interest in possible charges against #Trump, acc/to a #legal motion filed this wk.
It is unclear how many of the #jurors were in favor of indicting Trump, who by then had been federally charged for his attempts to subvert #Biden’s win. The interest prompted the AZ case’s lead prosecutor to give a PowerPoint & request that jurors not indict Trump. -

On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.
Prosecutors showed the jury the laptop belonging to Hunter that has long been a target of #RightWing activists & politicians, spurred by #Trump & #RudyGiuliani’s #ConspiracyTheories.

She told the court that many of her relatives are gun owners & that she has lost multiple friends to drug #addiction. “I feel it’s an everyday part of the world nowadays,” she said. -

And in a trial where the #criminal defendant has been public about his struggles w/ drug #addiction, the #jurors told the court about similar battles fought by their parents, children & friends.

A substitute #teacher, a fmr #SecretService employee & multiple #GunOwners were among those chosen to report back to court Tues morning, when opening arguments are expected to begin.…Most were people of color, &…appeared to range from mid-20s to 70s. -
#Trump supporters tried to #dox #jurors last week after his #conviction, & they also targeted #prosecutors & the #judge, Justice #Merchan, in the case w/ #threats. During the trial, the mother of a fmr police officer, #MichaelFanone, who was nearly killed on #Jan6, 2021, by *rioters* who believed Trump's lies about the #2020election was "#swatted" after her son called Trump "an authoritarian" w/ "a violence fetish."

The judge overseeing the #HunterBiden case is nearly done w/ #JurySelection, having narrowed the field down to 32 potential candidates, from which defense lawyers & prosecutors will use peremptory challenges to end up w/a dozen #jurors & 4 alternates. It is increasingly likely that jury selection, which began Monday morning, will finish by the afternoon.
