Why should the Jena 6 have a retrial because of jury race?

Question

There were 50 african americans who were summoned to court but none showed up. How can you have a mixed race jury when only whites show up.

Answer 1

You are right they should not

Answer 2

This whole retrial because somebody doesn't like the color of the jury bit is c**p!  Random selection, and take what comes.. it's the only fair way.

Besides, these guys are guilty as sin.  Let them pay for their crimes.

Answer 3

Good point thanks for bringing it up.

Its like when black people wonder why there are not enough of them in a particular job I always wonder... how many applied?

You can't have a mixed scene when a half isn't doing their part.
