Last Stand in Jury Reform Bill Nears Passage
Trenton April 2 The final battle in the jury reform fight centers on a committee substitute bill reported last night likely to pass. It combines jury commission reform with sheriffs continuing to draw juries and a statewide referendum. Acting Governor Fielder backs the measure as better than two separate bills. Assemblyman Martin holds the votes necessary to block any other reform, making passage seem tied to the substitute.
