Informe de una comisión sobre jurados criminales

Abstract

The image contains news about the report of a commission on criminal juries addressed to the councilors. The report addresses the request of the 4th Circuit Judge and the Fiscal Agent to modify the list of jurors in accordance with article 1435 of the Judicial Code. While the Judge questions the moral suitability of many on the list, the Prosecutor proposes stricter criteria for jurors. However, the Municipal Corporation is limited by law, which only requires that jurors know how to read, write and be active voters. Councilors are recommended to reject the request, arguing that any change would violate current law and affect the legitimacy of the judicial process. News published in the Municipal Registry. February 15, 1878.
