-
All-white jury: The jury was composed entirely of white men, reflecting the exclusion of Black citizens from jury service, a common practice in the Jim Crow South. This biased the trial in favor of the white defendant. They find the accuse innocent. They will not condemned people of their own colour.
-
Racial prejudice: The legal system and community were steeped in racial bias. Black victims’ rights and lives were often devalued, and white defendants received preferential treatment.
-
“Self-defense” claim: The defense argued that the killing was in self-defense. Given the racial prejudices of the jury and the social context, this claim was accepted despite evidence suggesting Marrow’s killing was unprovoked.
-
Community pressure and norms: In many Southern towns, the killing of a Black man by a white man was often socially tolerated or minimized. This societal acceptance influenced the trial outcome.
