Ruling Seen On Exemption Of Citizens For Jury Duty
In Charlotte AP dispatch, Superior Court Judge James F. Latham will hear arguments Sept. 6 on a motion to strike the constitutionality of jury duty exemptions for certain professionals and tradesmen in North Carolina. Lawyers Stagg and Reynolds seek dismissal of a murder case against Purl W. Knight, contending the grand jury and indictment rely on exempt groups. The case cites 31 exemption categories including doctors, firemen, postal clerks, and others, with 17 of 180 jurors excused Aug. 8, and notes exemptions may conflict with Article 1, Section 7 of the state constitution.
