I believe that Judge is doing the right thing, everyone is entitled to some dignity and not just a chosen few because of their skin color

All white juries or jury compositions with legal dynamics that do not reflect an equal percentage of (jury of ones peers) based on racial pools must be changed. We stand with Judge

Every criminal defendant is entitled to a jury of THEIR peers! If the jury was not representative of the community, and it is a black defendant, they are much more likely to be found guilty! Given the racial tension in this country at the moment, it stands to reason that this judge was simply doing this due diligence to ensure a "fair" AND "impartial" jury. Is that not his duty as a member of the judiciary? !
He must be reinstated!

A jury is supposed to be made up of the defendant's peers. The Judge did the right thing, he should not be punished!

I feel that the judge done the right thing all juries should have the correct percentage of black and white people on it that represents the community.

The judge is ABSOLUTELY correct. All white juries in multiethnic municipalities should be challenged as reminiscent of Jim crow racism. Judges should require that juries either reflect the exact racial composition of the communities that they preside over or disqualify the jury until an accurate racial composition can be achieved.

I support what the judge is standing up for. We need more people in places that can make a difference. It's time someone spoke up for diversity in the court rooms. I've been in Louisville almost 23yrs & have only been summoned to jury duty once. I was not selected on the jury.
