Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that confidential jury deliberations must be disclosed if there's evidence of racial bias by jurors
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that courts must make an exception to the usual rule that jury deliberations are secret when evidence emerges that those discussions were marred by racial or ethnic bias.
“The nation must continue to make strides to overcome race-based discrimination,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority.

When a black juror says they don't trust the white cop's testimony and won't convict a black defendant because of his race, will THAT have to be disclosed? If so, what is the remedy?
Well if that doesn't open up a butt-load can of worms - in this day/age. Oy Oy Oy, yuck!
Another bi overstep by the Supremes.
unreal.
The BIG question?
WHO gets to decide what is "racial or ethic" bias??
The Constitution says a jury of their peers. It does NOT say they have to be perfect and it doesn't say those jurors must pass some kind of personality test to serve. And, not just ANY test, but a test based on someone else's idea of who you should be and whether or not your behavior is satisfactory to THEM (?!!).
A revolution is going to be the ONLY way to clean our country of people who think THEIR way is the only way and you better start towing the line according to THEIR ideas and standards.
A Supreme Court Justice proposed this idea????
Start the hanging before its too late.

It up to the lawyers that will be arguing the case to weed out the prospective jurors that might be biased during jury section. I was dismissed from serving on a jury for a malpractice case for that very reason.
