Abstract:
Objectives: The use of race as a motive for excluding individuals from serving on juries in American criminal trials is unconstitutional. Nevertheless, Black individuals remain substantially more likely than others to be removed during jury selection through peremptory challenges. This study tests whether and to what extent there is a racial effect on peremptory challenge use by the prosecution or the defense. Method: Using data from 2,542 venire members in Mississippi, propensity score matching is used to examine racial differences in jury selection by comparing Black venire members to similarly situated White venire member counterparts. Results: Findings suggest that Black venire members are 4.51 times as likely to be excluded from a jury due to peremptory challenges from the prosecution in comparison to White venire members. Conversely, White venire members are 4.21 times as likely to be excluded through peremptory challenges by the defense in comparison to Black venire members. Conclusions: After controlling for all observed variables, there remain significant differences between White and Black venire members, suggesting racial discrimination by both the prosecution and the defense in peremptory challenge usage. Black individuals are more likely to be excluded from juries through these effects, resulting in less racially diverse juries.

Abstract:
This Comment explores the right of citizens to be part of the justice system by exercising their right to sit on a jury. A citizen's right to be empanelled, however, could directly affect a party's right to a fair and impartial trial. Thus, some safeguards, such as challenges for cause, must be kept in place. However, the use of peremptory strikes may be interfering far more with a citizen's right to sit on a jury than with a party's right to a fair and impartial trial. In Rivera v. Illinois, the Supreme Court reiterated that it is up to the states to determine the existence and exercise of peremptory challenges, although peremptory challenges themselves are not a constitutional guarantee with regards to an impartial jury and a fair trial. Although the Supreme Court has left this task to the states, the Court has held that a juror may not be stricken based on race, ethnicity, or gender. This Comment evaluates which states have extended the restriction to other categories such as religion and age and discusses the extent to which other categories should be included. Thus, as state law continues to broaden the equal protection of jurors under the Equal Protection Clause, the question must be asked: When is the exercise of a peremptory strike not purposeful discrimination against a potential juror?

Abstract:

Seventeen states allow for a judicial peremptory challenge of a trial judge. Seven of these states require that a new judge be assigned to the case without any showing of bias, prejudice or impartiality. The remaining ten states require some showing, primarily through an affidavit or certification, which meets requirements set forth by the statute or rule. Distinctions between the various challenge procedures were examined. State jurisprudence addressing the competing constitutional principles of maintaining a litigant’s right to a fair and impartial tribunal and the presumption of a trial judge’s impartiality was examined within the context of the doctrine of separation of powers, improper delegation of judicial power, and analogies to the peremptory strike of a juror. Having found no constitutional infirmities, except perhaps under circumstances unique to the evolution of a state’s particular rule or statute, the decision of whether to remove by a peremptory challenge a presumptively impartial judge should be left to the policy branch of government—the legislature.

Abstract:
The right to trial by jury guaranteed by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution stands as a proud testament to the nation’s commitment to democracy. To that democratic end, juries are “drawn from a fair cross section of the community.” The Supreme Court has held that the requirement to empanel juries from a fair cross section of the community prohibits the systematic exclusion of African American and Latinx persons from jury service. The Court also has prohibited the use of peremptory challenges to remove prospective jurors on account of their race. Critical Race Theory posits that people of color have distinctive life experiences shaping a distinctive “voice.” Despite the express ban on the systematic exclusion of people of color from juries, restrictions on juror eligibility still disparately exclude voices of color from jury service. The uneven racial impacts of the U.S. citizenship and English-language requirements for and the disqualification of felons and persons with disabilities from jury service warrant reconsideration. Reform of the juror eligibility requirements could move juries toward more fully incorporating voices of color and better approximating the jury’s democratic ideal.

Abstract:
Philadelphia County witnessed the war’s most significant treason trials. The grand jurors who screened the proposed treason indictments were wealthy, prominent Philadelphians who had played significant roles in resistance activities, yet they indicted persons accused of treason at a lower rate than other grand juries did for other crimes. The chapter then introduces the trial jurors. Only 58 men filled 264 identifiable jury seats, and many of these served only once, leaving the other jurors to serve on multiple trials. By working backward from the jurors’ demographic characteristics, one can determine the strategies that defense counsel used in selecting jurors. Under eighteenth-century practice, defendants could peremptorily strike up to 35 jurors, whereas the prosecution could strike none. The chapter presents evidence suggesting that defense counsel used their challenges on the bases of religion, age, ethnicity, wealth, occupation, and political beliefs to shape juries that were more favorable to the defense.
