| That's all in the defense ploy, to get him off with a lighter sentence. | |
| Mr. Osby has been a witness of a considerable amount of violence. | |
| Jared Taylor, author of a book on race relations, testified for the defense with a bombshell of an argument that young black men pose an unusual threat. | |
| My role was simply to explain to the jury that... | |
| Black men are more dangerous than white men. | |
| Men are more dangerous than women. | |
| Young men are more dangerous than old men. | |
| And therefore, since his assailants were two young black men, they were, statistically speaking, the most dangerous people in America. | |
| But how do you argue that young black men are more dangerous than white men? | |
| What's your statistical evidence there? | |
| The statistics come from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. | |
| Black people in 1992 committed 55% of the homicides. | |
| They were 12% of the population. | |
| This gives a homicide rate that is nine times higher than the white homicide rate. | |
| You can't argue about that. | |
| So if what you say is true, then Damien Osby's attackers had just as much reason to fear him as he did to fear them. | |
| No, that's not true. | |
| They're all young black men. | |
| Yes, they are young black men, but... | |
| Just because young black men are more likely to commit violent crimes than, say, old white women, it doesn't mean that every young black man is going to commit a violent crime. | |
| Taylor's testimony was not challenged during the trial, but certainly left members of the black community outraged. | |
| We're talking about a community now, a community on trial. | |
| Prosecutor Renee Harris grew up in East Fort Worth. | |
| I know people there, I have relatives in that area, and overwhelmingly those are law-abiding people. |
