Hispanics underrepresented on juries, lawyer says. Utah
Tagged: attorney, population“After noticing a trend in the ethnic makeup of juries, an attorney in Utah County is calling into question the fairness of the jury-selection process.
Attorney Michael Esplin argued Tuesday that juries in 4th District Court don’t have a representative number of Hispanic residents based on the county population percentages.
Esplin is arguing that all defendants are entitled to a jury of their peers. And that can’t happen if the state does not have a better way to gather and keep track of the ethnicity of the population.”
