When in reality, for jury selection for this case, there were black people present.

Those black people were interviewed and they admitted to racial bias.

They admitted that the racial elements of this case would influence what they did as far as a conviction, guilty or not guilty.

And they could not be a part of this case.

because of that admission to racial bias so what is it with this tendency to keep going back to race i don't know but i'm like looking at the elements of this i'm thinking okay this it sort of makes sense how we've ended up in this situation this is carmelo anthony's grandmother outside the court

I'll wait for this to load so that you can hear the rest of what she has to say.

Hopefully we can get through it because she starts talking about how white people can just do whatever the F they want.

That's what she's screaming as she's leaving the court after what's taken place here between the two of them.

So again, like grandmother, mother, father, all about race.

It's about a white lawyer.

It's about a white jury.

It's about white people being able to get away with everything.

And as this crowd is outside protesting the court proceedings, screaming at this grieving family, she's egging it on.

And it's going, this is about racism.

This is about social justice.

This is about the way that black men are treated.

You just can't run from it in this case.

And I don't know.

I said at the outset, like when this happened and this story first hit the news, this seemed like a pretty open enclosed case story.

as far as what took place and how the law was going to treat this and how this would go to trial.
