Appeal by whom? It is my understanding a jury consists of persons approved by both the defense and prosecution attorneys.

This is a hoot. Joe is a fool.

There is authority for appeals when the accused is Black and the prosecution systematically excludes Blacks from serving on jury through peremptory challenges.

However, the right to a jury of peers is held by the accused, not the so-called victim, or his family, or his greedy lawyers.
