The following is part thirteen of a sixteen part documentary I produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1967 Detroit riot. The documentary aired on WILS AM 1320 in Lansing, Michigan (USA) on July 24 and 25, 2007.
Dumb question by that uninformed NBC reporter about potential Detroit jury composition considering Detroit was about 63% White in 1967. So a majority black jury would have not been selected even if the trial had been held at Recorders Court.
I'm just amazed that this series has so view views, considering how much detailed info it contains. Thanks again for posting the series.
