The upcoming trials of 10 African-American men accused of murder or perjury in a Mt. Pleasant incident involving the beating death of a man outside a bar has raised questions about whether the defendants can receive a fair trial in a predominantly white community. Wayne State law professor David Moran explained that "all that matters is that the jury is representative of the community." He said he has represented many black defendants, sometimes in rural areas, and racial profiling is always a concern. "You do worry about such things," he said, "and you just hope that the jury is fair-minded and goes on the facts, not racial attitudes."
