But the attorney defending 18-year-old De’Marquise Elkins said Monday on the first day of jury selection the Cobb residents being considered did not reflect a pool of the defendant’s peers
“You mean to tell me that out of the 48 people selected from Cobb County, there’s not a single black male,” Glynn County Public Defender Kevin Gough said.
Midway through the first day of jury selection, Gough filed a motion to re-form the four jury panels because there were no black men among the potential choices for jurors.
Of the 48 jurors, there are 19 white men, 19 white women, four black women, two Hispanic women, two Asian women, one Hispanic man and one Asian man.
Roughly 30 African Americans – 15 men and 14 women – were placed on the bottom of the list of 117 people summoned for Elkins’ trial because they were among the last to arrive to court Monday morning, Gough said.
“It is my understanding that jurors who are late go to the bottom of the list,” Gough said, pointing out that there also no one in the jury pool close to Elkins’ age. “Can we all agree that there are no young people or black men in the jury pool?”
