A judge in Macomb County overturned a black man’s murder conviction last week following reports that one of the jurors described the accused as “just another n****r off the street.”
Terry Wilson (26), will now stand trial for the second time over an alleged shooting in 2013 in Clinton Township, Michigan. During the original court proceedings, Wilson claimed that he shot William Clark (24) in an act of self-defense while the Macomb County Prosecutor believed it to be an act of premeditated murder.
When asked by WXYZ about his alleged racist comments, the juror, Harvey Labadie, claimed that he never used a slur to describe Wilson.
“I didn’t say racist comments,” he said. “I have never said racist comments in my life. I am a Democrat. He must have a good lawyer.”
