[QUOTE="sprknjc, post: 77558987, member: 454221"] Here is the quite detailed eight page article [URL]https://www.dccourts.gov/sites/default/files/Jury-Plan-2019-Effective-May-2020.pdf[/URL] . Voter lists first, but it lists other items also which expect would slightly expand the jury pool. Per Wikipedia [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_District_of_Columbia_elections']2020 District of Columbia elections - Wikipedia[/URL], 344K votes cast 2020 election, 317K for Biden, 19K for Trump, remainder for others. US Census, [URL]https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/DC/PST045223[/URL] , select Population Census April 1, 2020 link, Persons under 18 years below that 18.5% so those 18 and older 81.5% of total population reported 690K is 562K. Of that, some will be excluded or excused because of age, criminal record, or disability. Population decreased only 10K in DC to July, 2023 estimate. Nationwide 66.7% of registered voter voted in the 2020 election, so if this percentage applies to DC 344K votes cast, 516K registered voters, so 516K divided by 562K is 92% of residents registered to vote. So there is a pool of 516K less 344K = 172K of no recent voting record (how good that pool is, recent moves out of DC, deceased, served as juror in last 24 months, etc. is up for question). As the DC courts document above indicates, jury selection prior to jurors arriving to court is random, with some exceptions. Then it is up to the prosecution and defense lawyers to decide on political bias on the potential candidates. Hope they do a good job, so there is not a mistrial. Very insightful, but may be more information than some want to know. Bottom line the city of Washington, DC is a very heavily Democratic city. [/QUOTE]
