How have courts treated the issue of race discrimination in juries?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Teddie, 120 Cal.App.3d 756, 175 Cal.Rptr. 49 (Cal. App. 1981):
1. The jury panel : although we appear to have a complete record of trial proceedings, we cannot find any indication that defendant objected to the method by which the jury panel was formed. In any event, the mere fact that the panel from which the jury that tried defendant was selected contained no blacks, would not establish systematic discrimination. (People v. Robinson (1964) 61 Cal.2d 373, 388, 38 Cal.Rptr. 890, 392 P.2d 970.)
