Event Details

This legal document argues that the defendant, Ms. Maxwell, was denied her Sixth Amendment right to a grand jury selected from a fair cross-section of the community. It cites a parallel case, U.S. v. Balde, and an expert analysis by Jeffrey Martin, which found significant underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic individuals in the White Plains jury wheel. Because Ms. Maxwell's grand jury was drawn from the same pool, the document contends this analysis applies to her case as well.
