They're only allowed a limited number of vetos without having to cough up proof to get a juror rejected. Given he was juror #52 I think they ran out of free vetos long before they ran into him.
A representative sample would would have white males at 35% of the potential jury pool. That's a lot of veto power, to end up with 5 white women and 6 Pee Oh Sees.
He's not at all. He managed to undermine the prosecution's case using the prosecution's own witnesses. If he'd been able to find witnesses that would testify for the defense, and if the trial hadn't been decided before any of the jurors had been seated, I think that attorney might have been able to get him off. Probably not, but maybe.

It still boggles my mind that not a single white man was allowed on the jury. Only an alternate.
That's where all the prosecution's vetoes went.

He did what he could, the cards were stacked heavily against them.
