00:00:00.000 Do you think that there are members of the jury that voted to acquit OJ because of Rodney King?
00:00:09.780 Yes.
00:00:10.540 You do?
00:00:11.280 Yes.
00:00:12.000 How many of you think felt that way?
00:00:14.540 Oh, probably 90% of us.
00:00:19.500 90%?
00:00:21.820 Did you feel that way?
00:00:23.440 Yes.
00:00:25.360 That was payback?
00:00:27.160 Uh-huh.
00:00:28.180 You think that's right?
00:00:30.000 Okay, so this is a jury member from the OJ Simpson trial basically stating that she acquitted OJ

00:01:01.560 defendants guilty 73% of the time, and black defendants guilty 24% of the time, which highlights
00:01:08.380 this in-group preference like we see here in this video. But white jurors are statistically more fair
00:01:14.980 in their judgments, finding black defendants guilty 32% of the time, and white defendants
00:01:21.320 are guilty 39% of the time. And this shows, again, no in-group preference. In other words,
00:01:29.600 if you want a just trial as a black man, you want a white jury. If you want a just trial 0.98
00:01:37.620 as a white man, you also want a white jury. 0.66
