CNN Panelist on Lindsay Clancy Trial: ‘We Can’t Ignore the Nuance of Race, Not Just Gender’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: “So I think it’s a good opportunity to see our justice system at work, flaws and all. But I think we can’t ignore the nuance of, you know, race, not just gender, but race. We can’t ignore the nuance of, you know, just the optics of why does this trial draw so much attention when there are, you know, other things we could be focusing on? And I just — you know, that is not to fault anyone for focusing on this. But at the end of the day, when you talk about who who gets to raise a million dollars when they’re accused of killing three children, we just can’t. We just can’t ignore some of those optics and dynamics.”
