"'You're young, you're Black, and you're on trial. What else do they need to know?'
'I thought you're supposed to be innocent until you're proven guilty?'
'Sure that's what the law says, but stereotypes speak louder than laws. And hey—he's in the courtroom, so there must be a reason… right? When looked at from this angle, it's easy to see that innocent until proven guilty is more of a dream than a reality.'"
