SB 196 Additional jurors.

Introduced by: Joseph V. Gartlan, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Additional jurors. Allows twice as many veniremen to be drawn as additional jurors needed to assure that a sufficient number of jurors remain after the parties utilize their peremptory challenges. Under current law, if four additional jurors are sought, six veniremen would be drawn, but if each party exercises his two peremptory challenges, only two additional jurors would be available.

This bill is recommended by the Judicial Council.
