Summary

This legal document, filed on January 25, 2021, argues that the jury selection process in the White Plains Division systematically excludes Black and Hispanic jurors. It relies on a statistical analysis by Mr. Martin, which found that the demographic makeup of the jury wheel deviates by more than three standard deviations from comparison populations, suggesting the discrepancy is inherent to the process and not a result of chance.
