Just. What. The. Hell?
Non-citizens serving on juries? You certainly are the land of fruits and nuts.
Calif. bill would let non-citizens serve on juries
-
SACRAMENTO,
California (AP) -- The California Assembly passed a bill on Thursday
that would make the state the first in the nation to allow non-citizens
who are in the country legally to serve on jury duty.
Assemblyman
Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, said his bill, AB1401, would help California
widen the pool of prospective jurors and help integrate immigrants into
the community.
It does not change other
criteria for being eligible to serve on a jury, such as being at least
18, living in the county that is making the summons, and being
proficient in English.
