Answer:

Answer at the bottom!!

Step-by-step explanation:

However, there are many aspects to consider that may make it worse for the defendant: race, socioeconomic background and the impact a crime has on a community. A black defendant judged by a jury mostly formed by white people is problematic in our country because of the pervasive racism. Equally, particularly gruesome crimes, like child abduction or murder, may impact a community too much to guarantee that a person is judged fairly.

hope this helps!!
