The Crown will say no to a black person. What you can never do is kick white people off a jury. You can't do that because there are too many of them, but you can kick off everybody else, so the idea that peremptories somehow lead to diverse juries is not true.</p>",

J'en ai vu qui avaient l'habitude d'exclure chaque personne noire d'un jury. La Couronne refusera une personne noire. Il est impossible d'exclure les Blancs d'un jury, ils sont trop nombreux, mais vous pouvez exclure n'importe qui d'autre. C'est donc faux que les r\u00e9cusations p\u00e9remptoires m\u00e8nent d'une certaine mani\u00e8re \u00e0 des jurys diversifi\u00e9s.</p>"
