How do juries work, and how do they work against Black and Brown people?

For white Minnesotans, juries can be inconvenient, yet fair and impartial. But for Black and Brown people, a long history of racism, bias, and exclusion makes serving on a jury—or getting a fair trial by one—a more complex proposition. In this episode of Trial & Tribulation, we answer a two-part question: how does the jury system work, and how does it work against Black and Brown folks?
