The "Juice" on trial...again.

There were complaints that the jury is white, and that two black women were removed with out cause.

OK, first thing first, according to census reports Las Vegas is made up of nearly 75% white people. Thus, a jury of peers in that area should be around 75% white. Lets assume the other quarter is black and that the jury is completely broken along the law of averages. Now why were the two women removed?

Answers:

Quote:
Both of the women who were removed had strong religious views, and the prosecutor said he thought one of them would be inclined to "forgive" Simpson while the other said she was hesitant to send anyone to prison.
My point is this is a valid reason to remove people as a prosecutor and that this over-whelming assumption that all white juries must be racially bias is the equivalent of saying roughly 2 in 3 white people is racist.
