BEAVER COUNTY, Pa. —
A defense attorney is arguing that minority groups are under-represented.
It has come into questioning in the past, but this is the first time the issue will go to a court hearing.
In the past, county officials were concerned that focusing on the race of jury members would interfere with a process that should be racially neutral.
