PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — This week on Flashpoint: Host and KYW Community Affairs reporter Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions about diversity of jurors.

In recent weeks, juries composed of a majority of people of color have been critical to a number of high profile, racially charged trials across the country. Former Texas cop Amber Guyger, who is white, was found guilty of murdering Botham Jean, a black man, who she shot while he was in his home. Locally, a majority minority jury found bicycle courier Michael White, who is black, not guilty of manslaughter, in the Rittenhouse Square stabbing death of Sean Schellenger, a white real estate developer.
