It’s only racially motivated because black Americans tend to be very forgiving (”redemption”) about criminals without wanting to afford them any punishment. This comes from so many black men being locked up in prison. It’s a problem on juries.

I've heard the same thing, that pertains mostly to black male defendants. Any such bias may not be a problem in this case. The commentator did mention that all the OTHER jurors (except the grandmother) didn't take their eyes off Ashton while he was speaking.
