The state used a strike. But the court disallowed it based on the DT's Batson challenge, which asks the state to prove that their strike was not based on her race. The state could not come it with a reason that she was so different from previous candidates that gave similar answers and were not striken.
This is bad. This is a type of juror who could dither in the deliberations and refuse to reach a decision, so just be off the general track in the deliberations.
MOO
Disgraceful...this woman is not up to the challenge. JP Is wrong on this. WHat's the point of a peremptory challenge if they have to back it up like that?
You know what:
I'm so sick of the race card being thrown out there (including this). I wouldn't give a hoot what color of skin the jurors are as long as he/she can can be competent enough to be on the jury. Same goes for any situation. I don't hate people because of skin color NOR do I pick friends because he/she is black,white, poka dot, etc. I think the average joe feels the same way
I guess having a all-white jury means the court is being racist,bigot, etc NEVER MIND THE FACT THE JUDGE IS BLACK AMERICAN (and a excellent one to boot)
I think this lady was misunderstood because she is older...
I also think they did a disservice by not getting to know at least a little bit more about her.
moo
She's going to hear copious amounts of and complicated testimony. I don't blame them.
We all know so much regarding forensics, mitigations and so on. However, there is lost of the general public who really could care less about this stuff.

Wasn't the DT whining the other day that there wasn't enough variety - ie race?
Mannnnnnn that wasn't good. She was confused and needed to have things explained very simply. She also just flat out wasn't a reasoned thinker. I feel she was being led.
don't know her exact age but she is not a spring chickenWhat age is older?
Once...just ONCE!!! I would like to hear HHJP get as hateful with the DT as he does with JA. I'm too angry and disgusted!!
