Desegregating the Jury Box
If the law of the average values prevailed, race in the composition of juries Sumter County, Ga., three-quarters white and Negro quarter. Both races are represented in just about the proportion in the county’s pebbles, which the jury panel be considered. But rarely in modern history a Negro has served on a jury in Sumter County, where even taxpayers roles are separated: the names of white and Negro taxpayers are recorded separately. By decision of the Court of demand for Georgia, the law of the average values prevailing now in collaboration with the law of Georgia during the selection of juries Sumter County.
Local precedent. Ironically, the decision was, in the case of a white defendant convicted by an all-white jury in Americus, Statistisches Landesamt headquarters. Arrested while civil rights demonstrations there in the last August, Ralph W. Allen, a student of Connecticut’s Trinity College, was for the first time, inciting a riot, a capital Offense in Georgia. But before any could be attempted, the state has held the rebellion law unconstitutional by a federal court (TIME, Nov. 8). On the testimony of a police Americus, said Allen threw a bottle at him, 22 years of civil rights workers was put before the court, instead of a fee to the attack with the intention of murder. The All-white jury convicted him, and he was two years.
The Court of Appeal’s opinion every other respect not fit on the Constitution 14 additional articles to the Constitution of the USA which has long Held-to-Bar racial discrimination in the selection of jury. Furthermore, it is now familiar on citizens’ rights argument that a white man, managed to save the southern Negro voters could be something other than a material justice All-Southern white jury. This time, the Tribunal has also made a precedent in Georgia. Since 1882, it was a crime in this country jury of citizens excluded from the law on the basis of race, skin color or previous condition of servitude. ”
Fresh spelling. For all its importance, the new decision was probably not compress the Georgia jury boxes negro. Almost to the south, it is not even accused some Negro, suggest that it lasts, wrongly, without doubt the fairness of Negro jurors rejected on the back to remove a natural sympathy for their race. Even if the decision to go far to place an order for the Service of the jury negro. “The Test”, said the presiding judge of the Court of Appeal Horace E. Nichols, “is not whether all blacks are, in fact, in a jury. That is the question of whether the jury on the panel, for the jury compulsory and, if so, whether it is of discrimination. “
