Quoting Mr. Smith: “I am a public defender in a large southern metropolitan area. Fewer than ten percent of the people in the area I serve are black but over 90 per cent of my clients are black.”
Is that not where he formed his conclusions ? Isn’t that why he even made the statement ?
He is also dealing with family and friends of accused, as well as black crime victims/witnesses.
Presenting his experience as being confined to some small, distinct, non-representative subset of the black population is absurd.
