Philadelphia. The City of "Brotherly" love. Mayor Street says of the city, "The Brothers and Sisters are in charge." The lawyer, Singley, calls the jurors, "crackers". Then he lists step by step how to play the race card. Yes, there is discrimination in Philadelphia, but it is against caucasians.

Fillthydelphia has earned it's reputation.
No respect for law and order.
No respect for fellow citizens of ANY color.
It's a city out of control, much as D.C. was when they were run by Marion Barry.

Don't foget the guy on John Street's diveristy council who complained that too many city contracts were going to Jews.
Diversity is great so long as it's a diversity of John Street's friends and constituents.

Your expectations are far too high for Philly.
It's a dumping ground for wasted potential.

Divide by four, it's 750 K each, less attorney's fees. Not out of line at all. And I am sensitive to outrageous damages awards.

I don't like the settlement, either. I hope it gets reduced on appeal, but I think there was clear cut discrimination.

Part of the award was for punitive damages. These sorts of awards help insure incidents like this don't happen again. The cost is simply to high for the offending party.

I should not have "disrespected" you.
Carl E. Singley, a prominent African American lawyer.
The problem in America today in a nutshell. You have a person who is said to be a prominent African American Lawyer who can't even speak correct english.

"The Brothers and Sisters are in charge."
Another city I would not live in if they were giving away free housing. Along with Detroit,and New orleans. Oh wait a minute, if I whine, complain, and become a perpetual victim I would qualify for free government housing in all of those places. One thing has been made obvious over the years. It is not black city leadership that ruins big cities....it is black DEMOCRAT leadership that turns them into sewers.

Carl Singley is proof that we evolved from apes, but some have not quite evolved as fast as others.

They should have received $5,000,000 and part of the money should come out of the salaries of John Street and the rest of his cronies in the city government. These 4 white workers will never be able to work in a safe environment as long as they are in Philadelphia. This should serve as a lesson to the race hustlers who run that town.

Pretty bad language from a former law school dean. Still, I'm wondering here... if this was after the trial, what business has the judge calling the attorney on the carpet for calling jurors "crackers?"
To: sportutegrl
I could not help but notice that The Philadelphia Inquirer made a point of publishing the juror's names and where they lived or worked . I would suspect that most if not all of them will be moving within the next year or so.
To: MajorityOfOne
It is unprofessional conduct for a member of the bar (a lawyer) to act like a racist against jurors because he is angry that they did not let his client act like racists. Would you be asking the same question if it was a kkk trial?

Yup. After the trial is completed, the attorney, even if an obnoxious weenie, is just another Joe Citizen.
