Default Diversity Is Strength! It’s also…Minority Jury Nullification.

(( One of the reasons Africa will never succeed under Black rule is
that Blacks are biologically incapable of disciplining their own. They
simply can not do it. While Africans slaughter other Africans
wholesale, it's important to note that Africans do not consider
themselves "Black" or "Africans". They all consider themselves first
and foremost members of a tribe, whether that trime is Xhosa, Zulu,
Hutu, Tutsi, Luo or whatever. They would have no qualms about killing
a tribal outsider, but to kill or very severely hurt another member of
their own tribe in retribution, however just it may seem to an
outsider, is not in them. They will do ANYTHING to avoid it, anything
whatsoever. And the only really effective punishments for very serious
offenses are death or debilitating corporal punishment in the African
setting. By contrast the Jews are willing to do gruesome things to
errant Jews if necessary for the tribal welfare. The Rosenbergs are a
classic example. Bret.))


Diversity Is Strength! It’s also…Minority Jury Nullification.

By Nicholas Stix

"What do you have to do today to get the death penalty?" asked Channon Christian’s father incredulously.


Letalvis Cobbins, a black man, was convicted of kidnapping, raping,
and murdering the 21-year-old white girl in the January 2007 Knoxville
Horror. And yet the jurors sentenced him to "life without parole".
[Letalvis Cobbins found guilty in Christian—Newsom murders, WATE,
August 25, 2009.]

Since murderers have been known to be released from prison sentences
of "life without parole", and prison is for the most violent black and
Hispanic offenders a felon’s paradise, replete with cable TV, weight
lifting, and ample opportunities to deal and buy drugs and gang-rape
white men, Cobbins’ sentence is both misleading and of dubious
punitive value.

The jury’s pretext for not sentencing Cobbins to death for the most
heinous crimes ever committed in Knox County: laughable "mitigating"
factors, which it asserted outweighed any aggravating factors: "[A]
horrific childhood, the pleas of his relatives and his alleged role as
subordinate to an evil mastermind".

One or more of the potential jurors obviously perjured himself during
voir dire. Because District Attorney General Randy Nichols had
announced that he would seek the death penalty for Cobbins, each
Cobbins juror had to be "death penalty-qualified" i.e., had to testify
during jury selection that he was willing to consider the ultimate
sanction or be automatically disqualified.

(In an instance of criminal justice affirmative action, in Tennessee a
prospective juror in a capital case must also say that he will
consider a convict’s "background"—wink, wink—rather than simply his
crimes, in deciding whether to sentence him to death.)

Presiding Judge Richard Baumgartner had sabotaged the possibility of a
death sentence before the trial even began. Arguing that pre-trial
publicity made it impossible for the defendant Cobbins to get a fair
trial with a Knox County jury, Baumgartner went to Davidson County to
fetch a jury to bus in to Knoxville, the Knox County seat, and
sequester for the trial.

Baumgartner then permitted "Cobbins' defenders [to use] the jury
challenge process to fashion a predominantly black panel from Davidson
County."

The jury originally contained only three white jurors, for crimes
whose victims were both white, and which were carried out in a
jurisdiction that was 87.3 white, and only 8.8 percent black. By
contrast, Davidson County is 27.5 percent black. (During the trial, a
black female juror who was herself a rape victim was upset by pictures
of the victims’ rape wounds, and was replaced by a white man.)

Judge Baumgartner’s actions give new meaning to the phrases, "busing
to achieve racial balance", and "racial gerrymandering". He should be
kicked off the bench and disbarred for his chicanery, but he’ll more
likely be the hero of the cocktail party circuit.

By all accounts lead prosecutor, ADA Takisha Fitzgerald (who is
black), acquitted herself honorably. But she and her (white) co-
prosecutor, ADA Leland Price, never had a chance with that jury.

This sort of behavior has become pervasive among black and other
minority jurors. Their refusal to punish, or in some cases even to
convict, heinous minority criminals amounts to a form of "jury
nullification" that threatens the entire justice system.

Another recent example: Last December, Brian Nichols’ confessedly
racially motivated, 2005 Atlanta mass murder spree resulted in only a
life sentence, "without parole".

The last case I know of (thanks to reader "D") in which black jurors
sentenced a black defendant to die for his crimes, was the 1992 trial
in Los Angeles’ Mount Olive Church of God and Christ double-murder, in
which both victims were black.

However, even that case required that prosecutors excuse numerous
black potential jurors via peremptory challenges, after the latter
expressed attitudes that were "anti-police, anti-prosecution, or anti-
death penalty".

Black potential jurors have since gotten smarter, and now publicly
conceal their true views.

In what constitutes the criminal justice credo of America’s "civil
rights" tradition, beginning during the 1960s, ever-expanding swathes
of black America have decided, the facts be damned:

1. That entirely too many black (and entirely too few white) males are
in jail;



2. That black convicts are getting unfairly harsh (and white convicts
getting unfairly light) sentences;



3. That innocent black boys and men are being arrested by racist,
brutal white policemen ("police brutality"), and railroaded by
"racist," white juries, while white criminals are operating with carte
blanche;



4. That America’s laws do not apply to blacks; and



5. To encourage young blacks to violate "the white man’s laws," and to
openly oppose the symbol of that system, the "racist," white
policeman.

Granted, the various points contradict each other and, to be sure,
different parts of the black population initially adhered to different
points of the above-listed, paranoid agenda. But some embraced them
all. I believe that today the vast majority of blacks—in urban areas
as much as 90 percent—embrace all five points.

Thus has the racist black lunatic fringe become the racist black
mainstream.

I call this attitude, the paranoid, black supremacist, jailhouse
philosophy of law. "Jailhouse," because such rationalizations are the
sort of thing one used to expect from present and aspiring black
convicts, not from black church deaconesses.

Today, black civilians, lawyers, and felons alike routinely invent non-
existent legal requirements as a pretext for acquitting black
criminals, or diminishing their punishment, e.g., variously denying,
expanding, or twisting legal principles such as criminal culpability
and "acting in concert" (in Tennessee, "criminal responsibility"—under
the pre-diversity understanding of "acting in concert", Letalvis
Cobbins would also have been convicted of Channon Christian’s
boyfriend’s murder, of which he was acquitted), "burden of proof", and
even the presumption of innocence, in order to rationalize acquitting
guilty blacks, railroading innocent whites, and generally turning the
law on its head.

For instance, in 1996, a black man who claimed that he dealt with the
police every day professionally (while refusing to say just what his
profession was), insisted to me that O.J. Simpson could not legally
have been convicted, because: (1) The murders could not possibly have
been carried out by one person; and (2) The law forbids convicting one
person alone for a crime that was committed by two or more.

Black jurors have condemned police for engaging in perfectly legal
practices, and used these non-violations as pretexts for acquitting
black murderers, such as:

*

Not telling a non-juvenile suspect that his mother had secured
him counsel;
*

Chasing a suspect whom they had just witnessed attempting to
murder two people with a firearm; and
*

Using deception in interrogations.

There is also mainstream black opposition to:

*

Accepting any confession from a black suspect; and
*

Incarcerating convicted black felons (also here).

The foregoing dodges can be summed up in one phrase: "It ain’t over
‘til the black felon wins."

It’s bad enough that most blacks embrace such insanity. But for over
40 years, they have increasingly succeeded at imposing it on America’s
criminal justice system.

The writer who laid the foundations for all this was the black
novelist James Baldwin.

The 1960s saw an explosion in black crime in general, black-on-white
crime in particular, in the form of both race riots and street crime,
and some bizarre jury verdicts and sentences in racially significant
cases.

Few people today know about a series of four black lynchings of whites
carried out in Harlem from 1963-1964, by the racist Blood Brothers
gang. Baldwin had previously provided the boilerplate for the "police
brutality" myth, (later re-spun and rebranded as the "racial
profiling" myth). When six suspects in the Harlem lynchings were
arrested, tried, and convicted, Baldwin wrote the script for what
would become, to my knowledge, the first successful, modern black race
hoax. Baldwin "disappeared" the four lynchings, and got "The Harlem
Six" retried and acquitted, under cover of "civil rights" hysteria.

Today, no one seems to know if the six were innocent.

This drama has since replayed itself many times.

In 1967, racial terrorist, mass murderer, and Black Panther
(PDF) co-founder, Huey Newton (1942-1989), murdered white Oakland
Patrolman John Frey, wounded white Patrolman Herbert Heanes, and
kidnapped motorist Dell Ross. Although Newton’s crimes were sufficient
to see Newton executed, he was initially convicted of mere voluntary
manslaughter, and sentenced to 2-15 years in prison. After serving 21
months, Newton’s conviction was reversed on a technicality.

Newton was tried two more times, but after hung juries, California
authorities gave up. Newton returned to his life of terror and crime.

In 1973, Brooklyn black supremacist "community organizer" Robert
"Sonny" Carson (1936-2002) and seven of his henchmen kidnapped two
men, murdering one, and shooting and leaving the other for dead.

Although Carson was charged with murder, attempted murder, and
kidnapping, the jury convicted him only of kidnapping, under the
legally irrelevant pretext that the jurors weren’t sure "whether or
not he had ordered the shooting", acquitting him on the other charges.
He served a mere 17 months, was released, and picked up his criminal,
er, community organizing career where he had left off.

In the late 1980s, a series of black and Hispanic New York City
juries acquitted black mass murderer-robber-kidnapper-mass attempted
murderer Larry Davis (1966?-2008) of attempting to murder nine
policemen who had gone to arrest him, of aggravated assault for the
six cops he had shot that night (while the same jury convicted him of
illegal possession of a firearm!), and of all charges regarding five
drug dealers he allegedly had murdered.

The shameless juries—many local blacks still lionize Davis—embraced
Davis’ defense attorneys’ fairy tale that the police were his crime
partners, who had sought variously to frame and murder him.
Fortunately, in 1991, a jury convicted Davis in the murder of a sixth
drug dealer.

*

In 1992, a predominantly black and Hispanic Brooklyn jury
ignored the dying Yankel Rosenbaum’s identification of Lemrick Nelson
Jr. as his killer (during the 1991 Crown Heights pogrom), the bloody
murder weapon, found in Nelson’s pocket, and Nelson’s two confessions.
After acquitting Nelson of all charges, the jurors went out to
celebrate with the killer and his attorney, where they "hugged and
kissed" and "toasted" Nelson.
*

In 1995, a predominantly black Los Angeles jury acquitted O.J.
Simpson of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ron Goldman,
despite voluminous, incriminating blood evidence, the killer’s lack of
an alibi, and his attempted escape to Mexico. Millions of blacks
nationwide celebrated.
*

"Respectable" black jurors in Baltimore (City), Maryland,
support black murderers, and have a particular fondness for black cop-
killers, even when the victim is black.[ Damon Neverdon was acquitted
of murdering Korean-American Joel Lee by largely black jury in 1993,
and a similar jury acquitted Eric D. Stennett of murdering Police
Officer Kevon Malik Gavin]

Juror identification with predators translates into revolving-door
justice, in which the most violent felons spend more time on the
street than in lock-up.

The Knoxville Horror could never have been committed had the alleged
"ringleader" not been given a token sentence for previous violent
felonies. In 2001, Lemaricus Davidson was convicted in Tennessee of
carjacking and aggravated robbery, for which he could have been
sentenced to life in prison. Instead, he served a mere five years.

While exuberantly supporting the most bloodthirsty black felons,
blacks also often demand the incarceration of innocent whites.

In 1992, four LAPD officers were acquitted in a state trial of using
excessive force under color of authority. Their alleged "crime" was
the brutal but perfectly lawful beating of parole-violating felon
Rodney King who, while in a state of extreme intoxication, had led
police on a chase at speeds of up to 115 miles per hour, violently
resisted arrest, and assaulted four officers.

Their acquittal was greeted by the worst race riot in American
history.

The feds responded by retrying the officers in an unconstitutional,
double-jeopardy, civil rights trial. Jurors convicted two of them.
Koon and Powell’s federal convictions were the result, variously, of
racist black jurors, leftist whites, and whites who either appeased
the racist black jurors, or as Lou Cannon suggested in his monumental
work, Official Negligence : How Rodney King and the Riots Changed Los
Angeles and the LAPD, sacrificed the two officers to "the 13th juror"—
the "street", i.e., the fear of additional black race riots.

Racist blacks also demand that whites be imprisoned for acts
"violating" non-existent laws, as in the Jena Hoax, or for acts that
never occurred, as in the Duke Rape Hoax.

One of the ever-burgeoning blessings of diversity is that it is not
just racist black jurors who are destroying the criminal justice
system. Racist, Hispanic immigrants likewise refuse to recognize
America’s laws, and diversity has emboldened a minority of white
jurors dedicated to thwarting justice, who see themselves as the
"allies" of blacks (read: black criminals), and as "race traitors"
towards other whites.

Given that the state trials of Cobbins’ three co-defendants are yet to
come —with Judge Baumgartner presiding over all of them—and a federal
retrial of convicted accessory Eric Boyd is possible, we will have the
opportunity to observe up to four replays of the Cobbins travesty.

The destruction of America’s criminal justice system is one of the
many gifts of "diversity", which was originally called the "civil
rights movement." When black civil rights leaders began their war on
America’s legal system, the country was 88 percent white, and 10
percent black. America is now only 66.3 percent non-Hispanic white, as
opposed to 12.6 percent black, 14.7 percent Hispanic, and 4.4 percent
Asian. And the law is being worn away a little each day.

I have touched here only on the jury problem—leaving aside the issues
of diversity-oriented local and federal prosecutors, sentencing (and
reversals) by judges, "de-policing", politicians who aid and abet
criminals (here and here), and diversity-based, systemic overload.

America can have "diversity"—or it can have justice.

But, as is becoming increasingly clear, not both."
