Portland Oregoulan: Proceedings
during the first few days In the Ml
Namara trial at Los Angeles do not
convince one that there is an all
pervading Justice in the American
Jury system, with its maze of tech
nicalities, precedents, law restrictions
and court rulings. Uy it the man
accused of crime Is guaranteed a
trial of unprejudiced peers, but.
wnerever public interest in the out
come is at high stakes the effort of
both prosecution and defense seems
to be to obtain a Jury of 12 preju
diced inferiors. Selection of tales
men resolves Itself into a contest
between lawyers. If there is any
thing In the character of the pros
pective Juror's antecedents, asso

that might prejudice him against the
defense, the state seeks to conceal it
and the defense to bring it out by
skillful questioning. If there is any
thing therein that might seem preju
dicial against the state the situation
is reversed.
The defense has a specific number
of peremptory challenges. The state,
too. has a specific number. Each
side may excuse a certain number of
talesmen without giving any reason
therefor. Kach side preserves its
peremptory challenges for use against
talesmen who it is convinced are
biased, but whose bias has not been
brought out by questioning. Each
side endeavors to exhaust the other's
peremptory challenges but still re
tain on the jury men who are thought
to be favorable to its cause. It is a
battle of wits, not a concerted effort
to obtain an open-minded, intelligent
jury,
On the side of the defense the wits
of the lawyers are pitted against the
wisdom of the Judge. If a challenge
for cause be improperly denied by
the court grounds for reversal and
gets by the peremptory challenges.
Hut not oiten enough. He Is not
wanted. Another exception 1b the
prejudiced juror, who has been slip
ped by the opposition by prosecutor
or defense without exposing his bias
In the record, who seeks jury duty for
a purpose, and who will "hang the
Jury if the other 11 men do not de
cide the case his way. It is the
juror with preconceived intent to
thwart the will of justice or of stub
born opinion which will not alter who
is out of place in criminal trials. It
Is he against whom a labyrinth of
technical fortifications has been
erected In our jurisprudence
erected, alas, in such a way that skill
ful guidance of trained criminal law
yers too often finds the road to preju
dicial verdicts but made the easier.
It would be useless, no doubt, to
seek reform of purpose among prose
cutors and their legal opponents. It
is probably true that in many cases
the prosecutor firmly believes the
accused is guilty and the defending
lawyer honestly believes him Inno
