Description
Jury and Jurors. Constitutional Law, Jury. Practice, Criminal, Challenge to jurors. LYNCH, J. After trial in the Superior Court the defendant was convicted of criminal contempt for violating an injunction, G. L. c. 12, §§ llH & 11J (1992 ed.). The Appeals Court concluded that there were improprieties in the jury empanelment and reversed the judgment. See 36 Mass. App. Ct. 137 (1994). We granted the Commonwealth's application for further appellate review and now conclude, for substantially the same reasons as the Appeals Court, that the Commonwealth improperly exercised its peremptory challenges.
