Description
The United States Constitution (Sixth Amendment) asserts that in all criminal prosecutions, the defendant has the right to an impartial jury. Individuals are required to speak English to serve on a federal jury. I test whether members of the public consider non-English speaking defendants to be more blameworthy than English speaking defendants.
