Does the Trayvon Martin case indicate that there should be a sort of Judicial Affirmative Action?

Affirmative Action (or Positive Discrimination, Employment Equity etc. depending on where you are from) as conceived by the late President Kennedy, is a concession to race when considering one for government jobs, or academic entrance. It is, in effect, a program where by traditional standards for placement (testing in particular) are subordinated to race.

Since race is clearly on everybody’s mind in the Trayvon Martin case, should we be considering Judicial Affirmative Action?

In this particular case, JAA might have guaranteed conviction of George Zimmerman, without regard to the normal standards of evidence and jury deliberation. Then everybody would be happy, right?

The trick would be how to get the conviction/aquittal percentages right, but some bureaucrat somewhere will be able to figure that out.

Good idea?
