Critical race theorists (CRTs) are pessimistic that a white jury can set aside its own racism in judging the Black victims’ actions, and are skeptical of a jury’s ability to fairly judge a white actor’s motives. Before the George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery killings, there was strong evidence (The Innocence Project) that the CRTs were right. After all, the prosecutors in the Ahmaud Arbery case were so convinced that a white jury in a Georgia county would not convict white vigilantes, that they initially didn’t even charge the killers with a crime. However, then, back-to-back, in both cases, prosecutors prosecuted, and the jury returned guilty verdicts. They convicted Derrick Chauvin of murder. They convicted Travis and Gregory McMichael and ÌRoddieÌ William Bryant of murder. This book examines the how and why of these verdicts and asks whether they hold lessons vital to withstanding CRT challenges to the American justice system." -- $c Back cover 650 0 $a Jury $z United States $x Decision making. 650 0 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z United States. 650 0 $a Critical race theory $z United States. 650 7 $a Critical race theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02022968 650 7 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895034 650 7 $a Jury $x Decision making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985076 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68E53C0A9E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
