Jury of Peers?
The Chicago Reporter examined 147 felony division jury trials held in Cook County between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2000. The defendants in those cases often came from communities much different from those of the 1,749 people who served on their juries. The chart above shows the differences between defendants and jurors by the racial makeup of their census tracts, the annual per capita income of their ZIP codes and their hometowns.
