How do these words in our Constitution kill blacks?
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right
to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and
district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district
shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of
the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the
witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his
defense.
Answer: because
in most daylight gang killings of blacks, a rising statistic in major
American cities, everyone around the scene of the murder knows who the
killers are but refuse to testify because they will have to confront
the killer as a witness. Confronting the killer is directly derived from the right
to to be confronted with the
witnesses against him.
In the closed circles of the black ghetto, being an eye witness means the witness will either be killed before the trial or a family member will be kidnapped to keep the witness from testifying. Ghetto gang friends of the killer make sure that witnesses don't live to testify (or have family members kidnapped to keep the witness from testifying).
I repeat: the 6th Amendment kills blacks. Thousands of blacks are killed in America every year, because there is no witness to send the killers to prison.
How
could this be solved? We need State legislation that requires a video
be made of any witness's testimony in a felony charge. Abiding by the Constitution the accused
killer would be present in a window separated room, with counsel. The video
testimony can then be used in court if the witness is killed or any
member of his family is kidnapped.
Further, to make sure this works, if there is a murder of the witness or kidnapping of a family member, the tape will be used as evidence and the jury can be told the facts of the witness murder/kidnapping part of the case along with showing the video.
Since a jury will send anyone accused of murdering a witness to prison, after watching such a video, it only needs to happen once, be approved by the U.S. Supreme Court and every witness in the black community will feel safe to come forward to put the killers in their community in prison. The black community will have eye witnesses who can't be intimidated.
What do you say? When will a State legislature require videos of witnesses and allow use of the video in court if the eye witness is harmed? Will the Supreme Court, one day say that a video under these circumstances meets the 6th Amendment protection.
