Patricia Coats Jessamy is the State's Attorney for Baltimore, Maryland. She is Black, one of the first Black students to graduate the law school at University of Mississippi where she is originally from. Anyway, she has the following view about the racial makeup of Baltimore's defendants- "It causes "a pain in my heart," she says, to see black men in shackles and chains lined up each morning outside Baltimore's Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse, named for a civil rights leader." Now I am not saying she should have the mentality of a KKK member but I am saying that if she sees a problem in prosecuting Black men, she needs to work in a city like Billings, Montana, or Casper, Wyoming where there are few if any Black defendents period. My point is I think she is in the wrong line of work with a view like that considering that almost all of those who go court for felonies such as homicide, armed robbery, and narcotics violations in Baltimore specifically are Black men. My point is this, one shouldn't take a prosecutor's position if they let their racial views get on the job, especially if their views can influence the way the vast majority of defendants are handled.
