9:00Now PlayingA judge has ordered a defendant standing trial to cover his facial tattoos with makeup to receive a fair trial. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
Bayzle Morgan’s head, neck and face are marked by racist tattoos. He also has a teardrop tattoo under his eye, which typically signifies that the person has killed someone, and a swastika in a clover under his other eye. But jurors saw none of that when he appeared in court this week because he had concealer covering them.
The act wasn’t a desperate plot from a defense attorney aiming to get his client off, but rather a directive handed down by District Judge Richard Scotti. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, members of the jury said they wouldn’t be capable of deciding the case fair and impartially because of the way that Morgan looked. One juror was immediately dismissed after saying that she read about Morgan’s makeup in the local news.
Each day a professional cosmetologist meets Morgan prior to the jury being brought into the courtroom and applies his makeup. It is then removed before he returns to the county jail.
