Question presented

Where the trial court engages in tainting a jury (especially during voir dire) making it clearly pro-defense by punishing pro-plaintiff potential jurors and impanelling pro-defense potential jurors, also creates a non-diverse jury (all white and all women), and removes the only black member of the jury, does this violate Mr. White's guarateed right to a fair trial and and an impartial jury under the Due Process Clauses of the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States?
