Associated Press
DALLAS — The Dallas County
Criminal Bar Association’s govern
ing board has voted to seek legis
lative and administrative changes
aimed at limiting prosecutors’ exclu
sion of minorities from felony court
juries.
The bar’s 15-member board of di
rectors adopted a resolution Thurs
day to draft a bill for the 1987 Legis
lature to bring the state court system
in line with the federal court system.
The legislation will seek to reduce
the number of peremptory chal
lenges allowed prosecutors in felony
cases from 10 to six, officials said.
Board members also voted to ask
Dallas County’s felony court judges
to establish a method to record the
race of every prospective juror and
to ask prosecutors their reasons for
eliminating minorities from juries.
Arch McColl, president of the
400-member association of criminal
defense lawyers, said a series of arti
cles in The Dallas Morning News
provided defense attorneys with the
first evidence that prosecutors were
violating the U S. Constitution by
engaging in a “systematic exclusion’’
of minority jurors.
In the articles, Dallas County
prosecutors denied any illegal exclu
sion of minorities from juries and
said race is never the sole reason
they exercise a peremptory chal
lenge against a potential juror.
The Texas District and County
Attorneys Association opposed ef
forts during the past two legislative
sessions to reduce the number of pe
remptory challenges available to
prosecutors.
Steve Capelle, the Austin-based
organization’s executive director,
said the group continues
such a change.
State District Judge Ed Hi
said Dallas County’s feta*
judges discussed thejurysekW

and decided “to follow thela»fe!
