Prosecutors questioned jurors differently by race to justify strikes

Evidence

Moreover, it was not permissible for attorneys to ask different questions of jurors from different racial/ethnic groups. For example, in Miller-El, the prosecutors claimed they had removed a Black juror because she knew several people involved with the crime. However, several White jurors also knew people involved with the crime but the attorneys never asked them about their knowledge. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 887
