This criminal procedure video topic summarizes the constitutional limits on the power of litigants to exclude prospective jurors from service on a jury. The foundational case is Batson v. Kentucky.
Justice is a joke. Once again the attorneys want to control, for their own financial gain and sense of importance, the freedom of the defendant and the coffers of the state. This makes attorneys, judges and the whole Bar look like the ultimate racists. I'll bet any defendant would just as soon you have the jurors pick a number out of the hat and get on with it. If the attorney is good then prove it by convincing the odd juror. Then again you wouldn't be able to go to the Supreme Court and let them ultimately decide the defendants guilt or innocence.
