Quantum Leap1989

Judge Haller:
What is wrong with the jury?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
None of them are black.

Judge Haller:
You mean Negro?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Uh, yes, sir. And since my client is a Negro, it only seems fair that there be Negroes on the jury.

Bo Parsons:
I object! There's never been a Negro impaneled on a jury in Louisiana.

Judge Haller:
Overruled. Leonard, there's only one problem. In order to serve on a jury, you have to be a registered voter, and, uh, since there aren't any Negroes registered in this parish, I just don't see how you're gonna to put one on that jury.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Well, that being the case, Your Honor, since the law requires a trial by a jury of one's peers, we have no choice but to reluctantly accept these white jurors as Lila's equals.
