Juror Campbell said that this came up last year. Shannon Gwin our former Treasurer had contacted the Black Caucus and was told that the meeting was for blacks only. After being told this, the Jury rescinded the motion to send someone to the Black Caucus meeting. Juror Johnson said that he did not remember this.
