More on Jews and Juries

Sorry again for the intermittent blogging. I just finished a lecture in Roanoke yesterday, did a quick final edit on a book review for the Washington Post (look for it next week). And flew to Salt Lake City...

But to the news...

This follow up on the jury selection controversy in San Jose...

A former California prosecutor testified Tuesday that he colluded with a judge to exclude Jews from the jury in a capital case that ultimately sent the defendant to death row.

"No Jewish person can sit on a death penalty jury and vote for death," the judge said, according to Quatman.

Gotta love my people.
