Jury Selection

The Chicago Reporter observed jury selections in seven courtrooms at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse in March. The tables show the race of prospective jurors questioned during jury selection, which ones were removed, which ones were selected for juries and the percentage of those selected. The tables also show which prospective jurors were selected among those who said they had been the victim of a crime, were a party in a lawsuit, had been previously arrested or convicted of a crime or knew police officers or attorneys.
