The court raised red flags over the prosecutor’s extra research on the juror during recess, hinting at possible racial bias — a pattern that repeated in Porter’s first trial in 2013, when the same juror was also struck for allegedly fearing workplace retaliation. Both juries were all-white, and the court warned that such exclusion undermines justice, stressing that discrimination has no place in the courtroom.
