A state judicial task force recommended eliminating the seven-year wait for convicted felons to serve on juries. (Shutterstock)
CONNECTICUT Proposed legislation would eliminate the wait for people with felony convictions from serving on a jury and allow legal permanent residents who don t have citizenship to serve on juries as well. The proposal was made by a judicial task force charged with finding ways to address racial bias in juries.
The legislation was endorsed by state Chief Justice Richard Robinson. I ve completed a preliminary review of the report, and the recommendations are excellent and extensive, he said in a statement. At this point, I anticipate implementing many of them, and I believe they will have a profound effect on our ability to ensure fair and impartial justice for all. In fact, we have already filed legislation to get things rolling.

FILE - In this May 3, 2020, file photo, the setting sun shines on the Supreme Court building in Washington. As coronavirus cases surge again nationwide, the Supreme Court late Wednesday, Nov. 25, temporarily barred New York from enforcing certain attendance limits at houses of worship in areas designated as hard hit by the virus. The court’s action won’t have any immediate impact since the two groups that sued as a result of the restrictions, the Catholic church and Orthodox Jewish synagogues, are no longer subject to them.
