2023Duren v. Missouri, 439 U.S. 357 (1979); see also Danzie v. State, 326 Ark. 34, 43 , 930 S.W.2d 310, 315 (1996).

2022In order to establish a prima facie violation of the fair-cross-section requirement, a defendant must demonstrate all three of the following: (1) the group alleged to be excluded is a “distinctive” group in the community; (2) the representation of this group in jury venires is not “fair and reasonable” in relation to the number of such persons in the community; and (3) the underrepresentation is caused by the “systematic exclusion of the group in the jury selection process.” Duren, 439 U.S. at 364 . 13 Only if a defendant meets this standard will the burden shift to the State.
