BATON ROUGE, La. — A defense attorney for a man charged with murder wants jurors who won’t judge his client because of his face and neck tattoos, which include devil horns and skull teeth.
The Advocate reports that most of the potential jurors attorney Jarvis Antwine spoke with Monday said they don’t have a problem with William Bottoms Jr.’s tattoos.
Bottoms is charged with second-degree murder in the 2017 deaths of two men.

I see some of the symbols on him, including the crossed axes and German Cross that are signs of White Nationalists and Neo-Nazis....
So in other words, this is the face he wants the world to know as his - and yet his lawyer doesn't want the Jury to see it?
Hmmm....
