An all-white jury is an American political situation where a jury in a criminal trial or grand jury investigation is composed only of white people; often, the implication of invoking such a makeup is that the deliberations may not be fair and unbiased. Racial discrimination in jury selection has a long history in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the word jury:
“The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is “what should be.” Now, if you’re taught to live up to a “what should be” that never existed—only an occult superstition, no proof of this “should be”Mthen you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
