This most recent push is Senate Bill 310, authored by state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, and would allow Californians who have prior felony convictions to serve on juries.

In a press release promoting the proposal, Skinner wrote, “SB310 will help ensure that California juries represent a fair cross-section of our communities…People with felony records have the right to vote in California. There is no legitimate reason why they should be barred from serving on a jury.”

Currently, felons are prevented from serving on juries because of their obvious and inherent bias against prosecutors and law enforcement.


frick this planet.

If you honestly believe that jurors in California who’ve served time won’t be more lenient towards accused criminals, I’ve got a bullet train to sell you.

CA is for any legislation that defies logic.

They call it “progressivism”.

That state has multiple cities right now that have a literal human feces in the street problem. Why would anyone want to live there?

If you're a convicted felon and on trial again, it seems like a jury of your peers would be felons.

I don't get why you're for government overreach in every part of your life except when it comes to police.

I understand a lot of people make fun of California... i.e. "it must be the water", "California should tumble into the ocean"...

but seriously, WTF is wrong with these people?

I'm not -- that perception exists because i criticize the sheeple fawning over politicians (on this board they are almost exclusively trumpkins).

Generally speaking I'm opposed to government being involved in your personal/home life and hobbies. I support government oversight that protects citizens from corporations.

They are obviously looking to downsize their prison population as felons are not going to be too likely to convict.

So what do you call the lapdogs who worship police and bow to authority?

Sacramento is a prime example of this.
