Outside courthouse Bigo Barnett says he didn’t get a fair trial .. claiming he didn’t get a jury of his “peers”… I asked what that meant. And his attorney Joe McBride responded for Barnett

Want an Arkansas jury? Do your crimes in Arkansas.

The general Arkansas population is tired of their shit, the problem is that Republicans have Arkansas gerrymandered so it's hard for them to lose control. House 4 used to be a tossup district until they added some of the most conservative cities in a different quadrant of the state to the district.
