General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31 (1975)
Daniel v. Louisiana No. 74-5369 Decided January 27, 1975 420 U.S. 31
ON APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
The decision in Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522, wherein it was held that the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments require petit juries to be selected from a source fairly representative of the community and that such requirement is violated by the systematic exclusion of women from jury panels, is not to be applied retroactively, as a matter of federal law, to convictions obtained by juries empaneled prior to the date of that decision. DeStefano v. Woods, 392 U.S. 631.
297 So.2d 417, affirmed.
