LoStracco on juror selection
question:
Are you satisfied with the way jurors are summoned and chosen? Do you feel the process is efficient and fair? Do you think juries accurately represent the community?answer:
(a) Yes. The current system of choosing juror candidates from voter and DMV records, I believe adequately fills the needs of the Court for qualified potential jurors.
(b) Yes for the most part, however we must be vigilant to constantly assess our methods and consider other systems for ways to improve.
(c) Yes. I do believe most jurors, once chosen, take the responsibility very seriously. While we may not always agree with their verdict, it is the best system there is for a free and democratic society.
