Listen "S2E2 - Can I Get A FAIR Jury, Please?"
Episode Synopsis
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed... 4th Amendment.
But what if the computer software that selects persons to serve as potential jurors just leaves a large, pre-determined group of the population out? What if no females are chosen? What about certain ethnicities? What about a particular age group? Can a jury be an "impartial" jury if a certain group of people has been discriminately precluded from serving as jurors? What would that do to the justice system?
You don't have to wonder. Just ask anyone practicing criminal law in Baton Rouge. Or, just listen to your hosts Franz and Rich who are dealing with this issue right now. Hot button issues that affect lives; It's not just a tagline, guys. It is this week's episode of Legally Unfiltered.
