KING: Cop accused of raping black women gets all white jury
Heres the story:
Twelve different women and one underage teenager all recounted that very presence when they came forward to accuse him of various forms of rape and sexual assault.
The overwhelming majority of the thirteen girls and women who came forward were African-American. They each reported that the sexual assaults took place within a few square mile radius that Holtzclaw regularly patrolled. In June 2014, a woman who had no idea that other women had already accused Holtzclaw of sexual assault came forward to report that in a traffic stop earlier that evening, he sexually assaulted her as well.
In many ways, it was a break in the case. The Sex Crimes Unit of the Oklahoma City Police Department had received another report earlier in 2014, from another black woman in the same neighborhood, that an officer who looked just like Daniel Holtzclaw had sexually assaulted her as well. Using advanced GPS tracking data from his police vehicle, detectives determined that the officer who was being accused of these crimes was indeed one of their own — Daniel Holtzclaw.
So this guy is charged with 36 crimes including first-degree rape, sexual assault, indecent exposure, stalking, burglary and more. AND ALL OF THE ASSAULTS AND TESTIMONIES WERE BACKED UP WITH HIS GPS DATA!
Never heard of this case until now. Heres the second part of it.
Almost every person he assaulted was black. EVERY single juror on this case is white. Maybe its a coincidence but FTA:
Every eligible African-American juror was removed from consideration and the final jury selection was composed of eight white men and four white women. Not one black woman even made it into the final larger pool of jurors. Three black men made it into that pool, but were each removed. Not even the alternate jurors were black.
Can you imagine a white cop going on trial with an all black jury? You dont have too because its never happened in the history of trials EVER!
