DA: Latino people underrepresented in San Diego juries

ADVERTISEMENTS

The San Diego district attorney's office says Latino people are being underrepresented in courts there, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Two thirds of jurors in the central judicial district are summoned to downtown courts, even though they make up less than half of the eligible jurors.
