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.
Bokulich v. Jury Commission of Greene County, 394 U.S. 97 (1969)
Bokulich v. Jury Commission of Greene County No. 1255, Misc. Decided March 3, 1969. 394 U.S. 97
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA
Syllabus
Appellants had been arrested on charges of grand larceny. They sought an injunction to prevent the grand jury from considering the larceny charges on the ground that Negroes had been systematically excluded from the grand jury. The District Court found that the grand jury was illegally constituted, but refused to prevent it from considering the criminal charges.
Held: The District Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to enjoin the grand jury proceedings.
298 F.Supp. 181, affirmed.
