Because the problem is systemic therefore the jury pool's views will likely be skewed to a certain extent.

2020 happened. People's attitudes were changed by that, much more than some demonstration in Worcester, MA. And it's not like police weren't convicted of murder before that, or even before we had smartphones to record evidence.

And policies are far better now than they were when most of those convictions happened.

Civil rights marches happened in every state. Eventually the blanket of pressure changed things in the deep south.
