I don't know who said that. I didn't.
But the jury is being viewed as stacked in his favor. It sucks to make it a black versus white issue but the reality is, it is. White cop shoots unarmed black commuter in the back while another white officer held him down. There are no blacks on the jury, or anyone that was the victim's age, and they rushed through and selected this jury in less than a day. That's what all the noise is about.
Personally, it doesn't matter to me what color person it was. The ex-cop (Mehserle) is still a piece of shit murderer. But you can see how this would not go over well with the Oakland community. If he gets off, there will be riots over it. They don't care if a white woman from Beverley Hills is capable of being impartial, they want proper balanced representation in the jury box.
