: Legal Pad | LAJudge tosses lawsuit over Latino underrepresentation on juries
By Jason Siegel
San Diego Superior Court Judge David Gill rejected a challenge by two lawyers that the county's system for summoning juries is unconstitutional because Latinos were underrepresented, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The lawyers, who are representing a man facing the death penalty, said they will appeal the ruling.
They based their claim on a defense statistician's finding that less than half of the jury-eligible population Latino population show up in the downtown court. Latinos made up 9.4% of jurors, while they are 19 percent of jury-eligible population.
