No Black Jurors Seated in Racially Charged Carmelo Anthony Murder Trial

What was said

"Within the last hour, a jury has been chosen to decide the closely watched murder trial of Carmelo Anthony. More than 500 people were on the list potential jurors, but the jury will not include anyone who is Black despite this case being racially charged."

The jury empaneled to hear the Carmelo Anthony murder case contains no Black members, sparking controversy from defense attorneys who accused prosecutors of racial bias. One potential Black juror disqualified himself by stating he would never put a brother behind bars. The defense attempted to identify Democratic voters through immigration policy questions as a jury selection strategy.
