Elie Mystal, a lawyer and editor of law blog Above The Law, says all blacks on juries must automatically acquit all blacks accused of murdering a white, especially a white male. And do so no
matter what the evidence shows.
Mystal justified the jury nullification claiming “African-Americans live in a world where the police can murder us and get away with it...but the door swings both ways. It’s time for us to push back...”
Automatic acquittals based on the skin color of the perp and the victim? Mystal needs to lose his law license...like yesterday.
