"Alameda County, CA Prosecutors and the Exclusion of Jewish and Black Jurors."

Moderated by DPF President Mike Farrell, in conversation with attorneys Brian Pomerantz and Ann-Kathryn Tria, this webinar examined how the Alameda County District Attorney's Office systematically excluded people of certain faiths, races, and genders from serving on juries. Pomerantz and Tria, each co-counsel for Ernest Dykes, discussed how his death sentence appeal became the catalyst for the discovery of the practice, and the subsequent order by a federal judge for the DA's office to review 35 death sentences going back 30 years for evidence of jury exclusion.
