Opinion: It shouldn't have taken all this to convict Ahmaud Arbery's killers

The judge allowed the defense to stack the jury with 11 White people and only one Black member knowing precisely why the defense was doing so.

No question he wasn't the real victim, they wanted us all to know.

The defense did all of that in the heart of the Deep South before a nearly all-White jury.

On Wednesday, that nearly-all White jury in a case presided over by a White judge found three White men guilty as the murderers we all knew they were long before the gavel was first pounded.

If it does, Black jurors would not be continuously discriminated against during jury selection.

If it does, racist White men would think twice before arming themselves to take matters into their own hands the way so many White racist mobs did during the height of the lynching era.

It has been replaced by one of our political parties excusing the violent attack to the US Capitol building on January 6 and what that fateful day in American history means for our future.

And make no mistake, in our system you are still much more likely to be declared not guilty in self-defense cases if you are White and your victim is Black than the reverse, according to FBI data analyzed by the Marshall Project.
