What an absurdity, and that it came from a Jewish lawyer, compounds it.

Attorney Cohn told CBS 2’s Langford he was not available for an on-camera interview, acknowledging he made what he called a bad mistake.

Cohn’s effort highlights an increasing tendency, in an effort to achieve “fairness” towards accused terrorists, of marching along a road littered with the civil rights of others.

A New York City attorney ruffled some feathers recently when he asked a Brooklyn Federal Court judge not to put Jews on his accused terrorist’s jury.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A New York attorney is taking the complicated process of picking a jury to a new extreme. He represents a suspected terrorist and asked a judge to keep Jews off the panel.

Inside Brooklyn Federal Court, attorney Frederick Cohn told Judge Eric Vitaliano, “I’m not wild about having Jews on the jury in this case,” CBS 2’s Steve Langford reported.

Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, a Muslim, is charged with making false statements in connection with a terrorism offense. His attorney told the court he didn’t believe his client could get a fair trial if Jews are on the jury.

“Given that there’s going to be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy,” Cohn said.

For the record, Cohn is Jewish.

“The notion that Jews cannot serve in a jury and be objective is simply offensive to us,” said Etzion Neuer of the Anti-Defamation League.

Seeking to ban Jews from a jury won little public sympathy outside the court.

“I’m not wild about his opinion. It’s rather discriminatory,” one person said.

“This is America. This is New York. We’re a melting pot,” another person said.

“Regardless of your race you should be able to participate in the judicial system,” another added.

  1. He is allowed to dismiss a possible juror for no reason for a number of times (I don’t know how many, 2 or 3 I am guessing). He can use that to keep out Jewish jurors. Same as the prosecutor can do for probable muslim jurors.
    Too bad for him there are plenty of people who still know right from wrong, so he is waiting his time.

    1. It’s NYC. Ban the Jews and the jury will have an armenian, a copt, a serb, a pontic greek, an assyrian, a hindu ……….
