There has been a great deal of contention recently about possible jury bias in the case of Donald Trump. I suggest that the answer is quite simple: Of course the jury was biased! So was the jury that acquitted O.J. Simpson. So were the all-white, racist juries that acquitted the men who killed Emmett Till, and twice acquitted Medger Evers’ killer.
A demonstrator reacts to the guilty verdict announced against former President Donald Trump outside Manhattan Criminal Court, Thursday, May 30, 2024, in New York. Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes as a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
Biases often reflect our experiences; they can be favorable or unfavorable. Biases only mean that we have “blind spots,” or distortions, in our perceptions of reality. They are distortions because one’s experiences never capture everyone’s reality.
I presume that the vast majority of those who serve on juries do so with the sincere intent of impartially considering the evidence. Alas, juries are composed of fallible humans. It is therefore inevitable that they, and our justice system will be biased. Alas, “life is not always fair.”Letter: From the AIDS crisis to the covid pandemic, Dr. Fauci’s work speaks for itself. He should be honored, not demeaned.
