When you receive a notice of Jury duty, your fir s t reaction m ay be. ‘ 'B ro th e r, how can I get out of th is ? " It interferes w ith your w ork o r leisure. It's a lo t of trouble. The pay is chicken feed. Y et anyone who dodges respon s ib ility o r ju ry duty digs his little spadeful away fro m the foundation o f one of our co u n try’ s broadest freedom s. The obligation to serve on a ju ry is the reverse side of the rig h t of tr ia l by ju ry . When you sit in a ju ry box and look at the accused on the stand, how can you fa il to say, “ There, but fo r the grace of God, go I? " Or, when liste n in g to the tw o sides o f a damage suit, how can you fa il to say, “ W hat i f I were in the same fix ? ” A ju ry of 12 im p a rtia l, open- m inded men and women, a little cross section of the com m unity, under oath, is every m an's protec tio n against injustice, in d iv id u a l prejudice, intolerance and perse cution. » e e JU R Y D U TY is a chance to have a fro n t-ro w view of how our demo- ¡ESCREEMRADIO By IN EZ GERHARD LONA MASSEY, has had exper ience in p laying a beautiful spy; she did i t in two movies. “ In te r national Lady” and “ In visib le Agent.” So her role in the new NBC Monday nig h t series, “ Top Secret,” is rig h t up her alley. It is based on the actual experiences of a spy whom she knows, but who could not possibly be so beautiful as Ilona. Y ou’ ve heard her sing in “ B a la la ik a ” and “ Rosalie” ; she has fun as a comedian in her latest pictu re , the M a rx B rothers' “ Love H appy.” By the tim e you read this she m ay have p u b licly announced th a t the m arvellous new rin g she wears on her le ft hand means th a t m a rria g e is in the of fin g ; as yet she hasn't a dm itted it.

I c ra tic ju stice is adm inistered You m ay have wondered why ju s tice moves so slowly and why so j m uch expense is ju s tifie d in some tim es m in o r cases. Prom your seat in the ju ry box you w ill gain a new and com fo rtin g re a l ization that the system of p le a s , rules of evi dence, ob jections. ex ceptions and legal briefs and argum ents, com plicated as it is, gives tim e and op p o rtu n ity fo r the slightest ra y of possible innocence to shine out— fo r the tru th to p re v a il beyond the shadow of any reasonable doubt. L a ck of fa m ilia rity m ay have given you a distorted view of co u rt room procedure, and a fe a r o r dis lik e of courts in general. J u ry duty gives you a new in sig h t into the reasons fo r the m any happen ings of the courtroom w hich can not fa il to send you home a better citizen. There are three kinds of ju rie s on w hich you m ig h t be called to serve: The grand ju r y ’ s function is to hear com plaints of the com m ission of an offense and to inquire, by aid of testim ony presented by the dis tr ic t attorney, whether there are "p rim a facie.” th a t is, “ at firs t v ie w .” grounds fo r c rim in a l pros ecution. I t functions, therefore sole ly in c rim in a l courts. • • • IN A FEW states the grand ju ry m ay be done away w ith, even in m u rd e r cases, and the charges m ay thus be brought by the prosecutor, to avoid delays incident to grand ju ry hearings. A tr ia l ju ry , p e tit ju ry or com mon ju ry is used in a ll cases except when the accused elects to be trie d by the court or is charged w ith only a “ petty offense.” I t functions only a fte r the grand ju ry has returned an in d ictm e n t against the accused. Witnesses are presented both by the prosecuting o ffice r in the behalf of the state or com m onwealth and by the attorney fo r the defendant. T H E P E T IT or common ju r y is employed in c iv il cases, except where the issue is one of such a nature th a t the case m ay be de cided by the co u rt (judge) w ith o u t a ju ry . The procedure is m uch the same as in a c rim in a l case, except that the d is tric t or state's attorney has no connection w ith it. P riv a te citizens, and not the state or com m onwealth, are the prosecutors in a c iv il suit, except where the state has a c iv il interest, as in a tax case, fo r example. A coroner’ s ju ry is im paneled by the coroner to help decide facts surrounding death of one or m ore persons when there is cause to believe th a t death m ay have re sulted fro m a c rim in a l a c t The coroner acts as presiding judge, has the power to ca ll witnesses and m ay place suspected persons under bond to aw ait grand ju ry action.
