2nd Circuit Upholds NY Jury System Amid Racial Disparity Concerns
Aug 9, 2024, 04:00 PM
The 2nd Circuit Court has upheld the jury system of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York despite acknowledging 'troubling' racial disparities in the way prospective jurors are identified. This decision came as the court upheld a Black man's 2023 gun-offense conviction, rejecting his argument that the grand jury was not drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. The ruling highlights ongoing concerns about racial representation in jury selection processes.
