Honestly, following the Abery case, I cannot fathom the defense's strategy. The only thing I can guess is "Try to piss off the judge enough that you get a mistrial" or "Hope you have a secret-KKK member on the jury to hang a verdict." delaying enough that Trump or someone of his ilk is elected in 2024 and pardons him.

I mean, complaining that there are different black pastors in the audience with the family going through a very rough time? Saying "How'd you like it if a bunch of folks in Colonel Sanders's masks were in the gallery"? (I'm pretty sure that wasn't his first thought, but saying "KKK Uniforms" would give the game away.

Not to mention "one of the defense lawyers has concerns there aren’t enough “Bubbas or Joe six-packs” in the group of more than 60 potential jurors." (a jury that has 11 whites and one african-american in a county that's minority-white.)
