Canadian FlagOkay, I have to say that this one caught me off-guard.

A Texas district attorney is catching heat based on a 2003 email which has surfaced. Harris County assistant district attorney Mike Trent’s email was sent to dozens of people, congratulating a colleague on his recent conviction of a defendant. However, it’s his choice of words that is raising some eyebrows.

In his email, Trent stated the following:

“He overcame a subversively good defence by Matt Hennessey that had some Canadians on the jury feeling sorry for the defendant and forced them to do the right thing.”

The strange thing is that, in the review of the jury, no Canadians were present. In fact, it would have been very difficult, if not nearly impossible, for a Canadian to be seated on a Texas jury.

The other strange thing was that there were some black jurors, though. So, it appears that Mr. Trent may have found a unique slur of blacks on juries.

So, now I a ‘Canadian’, eh?
