A judge in Virginia ruled that a courtroom lined with portraits of White judges could impede a Black defendant's right to a fair trial and ordered that the images be removed before his next court appearance.
Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge David Bernhard wrote in an opinion this week that having people of color stand trial in courtrooms where the images on display are overwhelmingly of White judges could signal that the justice system is biased against them.
Though some people may see the portraits as a way to honor past judges for their service, Bernhard wrote, others may interpret them as another sign the judicial system is not designed to truly deliver justice -- whether that's the intended message or not.
