Ruling lets prosecutors
screen jurors by race
WASHINGTON tAP) — Prosecutors never nun dis
qualify potential jurors based on their r« i< the Supreme
Ckturt ruled Wednesday
Th>; (ourt's 7-2 decision curtailed dramuticallv the tradi
tionally broad pow*ir of pru'as ulon In strike prostHH.tive
jurors fmin trials by using |»en*mpt«ir\" nr automatic
challenge*
The justices said the exclusion of potential juror* from
any * rirninal trial because of their race violates the equal
prolix lion rights of and of those people excluded
In a separate decision focusing on the role of rai e in
i rimimd prosecution* the t onrt said murder defendants fa*
tug a possible death sentence must be allow ed to ask |x>ten
tiai juror* about their racial views d the killing was
interne ial
In a third ruling Wednesduv the court unanimously
refused to reinstate an invalidated Illinois law regulating
abortions, deciding that the < ase was not properly before it
The court in tiMdk had ruled that excluding blacks from
juries because of their rate is unconstitutional but said
defendants had no right to attack a* racially discriminatory a
pmsiH utor s use of peremptory challenges in any one case
The ruling said prosecutors’ tat tics in a particular
case were presumed legitimate unless shown to be part ol a
systematic exclusion of blacks in numerous cases
Writing for the court Wednesday. Justice lamix Howell
said the iue» ruling had placed a crippling burden of pro
of" on defendants that no longer can be tolerated
The court rejected arguments by Kentucky prosecutors
and the Reagan administration that a juror s race can be a per
missihle consideration in a prosecutor's litigation strategy
The decision was praised bv defense lawyers and civil
rights activists,
"It will mean black people have an opportunity to have a
fairer jury and it will mean that racial discrimination is one
step closer toward being eliminated In the courtroom." said
Millard Farmer an Atlanta defense lawyer.
Steve Ralston of She NAACP Legal Defense Fund said the
ruling "will go far in finally eliminating all discriminatory
practices and insuring that juries are truly representative of
their communities."
The court threw out lames Kirkland Batson s conviction
on charges of second-degree burglary and receiving stolen
property stemming from the theft of two purses in Jefferson
County. Ky.
