As to your first point, I thought (honestly do not remember) there were cases where verdicts were bounced because Prosecutors excluded black jurors from a panel for a black defendant? That's different that puffing the black % for a white defendant?

Sounds like neither of us in on solid footing here, but I think the defendant has to show discriminatory intent by the prosecutor and I'm not sure a change of venue to a demographically different county would be the same.
