No Black Jurors for A$AP Rocky Trial


This week Rev. Al Sharpton spoke out regarding the lack of Black jurors in the pool for A$AP Rocky's felony assault trial in LA [click here if you missed that]. 

The jury has been seated with no Black jurors among them...

From TMZ 
Jury selection in Rocky's trial for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli just wrapped up in downtown L.A., and the gender split is 7 women and 5 men. What's kinda odd, considering L.A.'s population, is there's not a single Black juror.
The jurors are white, Asian and Hispanic. Four alternate jurors who were selected are all women ... and not Black.
For what it's worth, Judge Mark Arnold, who is white, will oversee the trial.
