In this episode, Judge Joe Brown breaks down Day 3 of the Karmelo Anthony murder trial — and why the all-white jury is making national headlines.
The jury has been seated in Collin County, Texas, and not a single Black juror made the panel. The defense raised a Batson challenge after prosecutors struck all 3 available Black jurors — citing their backgrounds as educators. The judge denied the challenge, accepting the race-neutral explanation.
But is it really race-neutral?
Judge Joe Brown draws from 50+ years of legal experience — including personally winning a Batson challenge in Arkansas while defending the youngest person on death row — to explain exactly how jury selection works, where the system breaks down, and why felony convictions quietly disqualify a massive portion of Black Americans from ever serving on a jury.
