Ind. Courts - "Jurors tend to be younger in summer"
Rebecca S. Green of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette has a lengthy story this morning that begins:
Oh, the sights of summer – parades, festivals, picnics, younger people among the pool of potential jurors.Say what?What? Younger jurors? Yep.
Each summer, for the past few years, the pool of potential jurors in Allen County – and likely elsewhere in the state – gets a bit younger, like just old-enough-to-vote younger.
The fresh(er)-faced jurors are likely a product of the changes to Indiana’s jury rules a few years ago, which barred exemptions for certain professions automatically, like veterinarians and ferry boat operators.
