When You Have a Jury Trial, Do You Have the Right to a Jury of Your Peers? Court TV Appearance
Watch Jack’s Appearance on Court TV
We have heard to the phrase "jury of your peers" many time. The idea that people who look like you should be sitting in judgment of you if you have a trial. Unfortunately, it isn't true. You don't have the right to somebody who looks like you. However, legitimacy is critical in trials and so is fairness. The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” Jack Rice, a St. Paul based criminal defense attorney appears on Court TV on 11/16/21 to talk about why it matters so much. https://www.jackricelaw.com
