Jury members - Religious aspects



In State v. Fuller, No. 54,075, the New Jersey Supreme Court will have the
opportunity to decide whether the principle of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79
(1986), and its New Jersey corollary, State v. Gilmore, 103 N.J. 508 (1986),
extends to peremptory challenges exercised against a potential juror on
account of perceived affinity for religion. Fuller was prosecuted for using a
child's water gun to conduct a robbery of a Chinese takeout restaurant.
