Both Black and White jurors show out-group bias in verdicts.

Evidence

Racial bias results in worse outcomes (i.e., more guilty verdicts, higher guilt ratings, and harsher punishment) for minority defendants. In contrast, out-group bias is the tendency for jurors to be more lenient toward defendants of their own racial group than they are to defendants of other racial groups (out-group members). — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 845 (#complicates, via linked claim)
