13. The prosecution "did not provide a race-neutral reason justifying its targeting of these individuals." Today, targeting Black jurors w/o a "race-neutral" explanation is illegal But the SCOTUS decision banning the practice wasn't issued until 1986 https://t.co/712a5tdWsY — PolitiTweet.org

12. The prosecutor at the time "described the seating of that [Black] juror as 'careless' and a 'mistake' that he would not repeat" In the 2nd trial, the prosecutor "used its first four peremptory strikes to remove the only four Black jurors remaining" https://t.co/712a5tdWsY — PolitiTweet.org

14. There was a key weakness in the prosecution's case that a Black juror may have been more attuned to. Douglas said the shooter was wearing his hair "natural" — in a short Afro But in his booking photo, shows "the plait growing away from the scalp" https://t.co/712a5tdWsY — PolitiTweet.org
