A true jury of peers LAW - ¼ of the jury must be of the same sex and race of the accused and victim.

Non diverse juries; that are comprised of one race or sex generally share only one point of view – such groups cannot make just decisions or judgments because they cannot relate or put themselves in the shoes of those involved in a case who are of a different ethnic group or sex. Statistics and history support this fact. In order for a jury to truly represent both the victim and the accused as peers they must be of the same sex and race. They should also be of the same economic class; the law should insure that 50% of any jury meets this requirement. This action will eliminate the perception that race and economic class drives the final decision rather than the facts of the case.
