Judge Allows White Supremacist To Cover His Nazi Tattoos So Jurors Can Treat Him Fairly • Africanglobe.net
AFRICANGLOBE – A courtroom cosmetologist has been tasked to apply make-up on Bayzle Morgan’s face every day during his robbery trial, before jurors can see him.
In the courtroom, Morgan will appear in street clothes, uncuffed and tattoo-free, the Review-Journal wrote.A white supremacist showed up in court with all of his Neo Nazi tattoos covered up on Monday, as per a judge’s orders.
Bayzle Morgan, 24, is accused of stealing a man’s motorcycle at gunpoint in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May 2013.
He has tattoos on his head, face and neck, which include the words ‘Baby Nazi’, a swastika and an Iron Cross.
A panel of potential jurors allegedly said they wouldn’t be able to treat Morgan’s case fairly because of the markings, prompting a district judge to require them to be covered.
Morgan showed up in court on Monday covered in concealer – and when his attorney said the make-up had started wearing off, the judge agreed to delay jury selection, the Las Vegas Review-Journalreported.
Amerikkka.
THIS IS BULLSHIT. I HAVE SEEN POC IN COURT IN CUFFS AND THE ORANGE PRISON JUMP SUIT BUT THIS FUCKER GETS A MAKE UP ARTIST TO COVER HIS PRIDE; THE NAZI SYMBOL TO FOOL THE JURY INTO THINKING HE IS A GOOD SON? SMMFH!
Exactly
Wow.
like, do they also offer this for poc with sleeves of tattoos so that jurors don’t stereotype them as criminals? people with religious/cultural tattoos? women with “sexy” tattoos? sex workers with tattoos? literally anyone else with tattoos a jury might wrongfully be influenced by??
but sure it’s definitely fair to actually deceive jurors into thinking someone isn’t so proud of being a hateful racist bigot he got it tattooed all the fuck over him, it’s not like being a neo-nazi could feasibly be related to the crime (or any crime) he’s accused of… nah
“Fairly”
