You certainly attribute a lot of things to race.
First of all, no courts system ever devised in a modern country that is not a despotism or theocracy would have the temerity to proclaim that they produce results that are "completely fair." They couldn't be. That an innocent person would ever have to go through such an ordeal is inherently unfair. That a guilty person should ever be acquitted, likewise.
Second, the criminal justice system's focus to provide what fairness it can is centered and almost exclusively upon the defendant. Not the witnesses, not the victim, not the jurors and most especially, not the spectators. There was no "misstep," because there was no requirement to provide fairness to a dead youth in the courtroom.
Race is a part of reality, accept it.
The purpose of all courts is to dispense justice, which is based on the concept of fairness, not to eliminate the suffering from all incidents. That the court doesn't focus on having honest witnesses and jurors, consideration for the victim(s) and citizens is absurd. And that there was no requirement to provide fairness for the dead youth is absolute nonsense. It was the whole point of the trial. What are you talking about?
