Description

In this case we are asked to reverse the defendants conviction on two incest-related charges because the Lewis County grand jury that indicted him and the jury panel from which his trial jury was selected failed to contain the names of members of a local group known as "The Farm," and, further, because the proof showed that no members of The Farm had been included on the master jury list in Lewis County since 1975. The defendant contends that jury selection procedures in Lewis County resulted in the systematic exclusion of an identifiable group in the community, in violation of his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. We agree, and we also hold that the facts of this case demonstrate a violation of the defendants rights under the Fourteenth Amendments Due Process Clause and the Sixth Amendment to be indicted and tried by a jury reflecting a fair cross-section of the community.
