CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS INVOLVED

This case involves the Sixth Amendment to the United States

Constitution and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

to the United States Constitution:

Sixth Amendment

_ "In all criminal Prosecutions, the accused shall

enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an

impartial jury of the State and Gistrict wherein the

crime shall have been committed, ... ss

Fourteenth Amendment

- + « No State shall make or enforce any law which

shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens

of the United States nor shall any State deprive any

person of life, liberty, or property, without due

process of law; nor deny to any person within its

jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

STATEMENT

Petitioner, CLIFFORD COMBS, was charged by information with

the crimes of Burglary, Second Degree and Stealing (§560.110 R.S.Mo.).

Jury trial was held in the Jackson County, Missouri Circuit Court

(Murphy, J.) in Kansas City, Missouri. Verdicts of guilt were returned

and Petitioner was sentenced to serve concurrent four-year terms in

the Missouri Division of Corrections.

HOW FEDERAL QUESTION

IS PRESENTED

1. Prior to trial, Petitioner filed a motion to quash the jury

panel on the basis that women were systematically excluded fron jury

service. In support of this motion, petitioner introduced into evidence

@ stipulation of facts entered into by both the defense and the State.

Sriefly, the stipulation outlined the jury selection system used in

Jackson County, Missouri, which is as follows: potential jurors are

randomly selected from the Jackson County voter registration lists;

these persons are sent questionnaires to cetermine their eligibility

for jury service. By statute, this questionnaire prominently states:

The Constitution permits women to elect to

serwe Or not to serve as jurywomen. Any woman

who elects not to serve will fill out this para-

graph and mail this questionnaire to the jury

commissioner at once. It will not be necessary

to answer the other questions.

Petitioner introduced statistics relating to the number of jurors and thus, cannot stand. ‘Taylor held Article VII, Section 41 of

Article 402. Service of women as jurors.

a woman shall not be selected for jury service

unless she has previously filed with the clerk of

court of the parish in which she resides a written

declaration of her desire to be subject to jury

service.

The United States Supreme Court in Taylor re-examined the

guestion of automatic exclusion of women from the juries previously

decided by that Court in Hoyt v. Florida, 368 US. 57, 7 L.Ed.2d

128, 82 S.Ct. 159 (1961) and they reached a different result.

Accordingly, the Court stated:

"Accepting as we do however, the view that the VI

Amendment affords the Defendant in a criminal trial

the opportunity to have the jury drawn from venires

representative of the community, we think it is no

longer tenable to hold that women as a class may be

excluded or given automatic exemptions based solely

on sex if the consequences are that criminal jury

venires are almost totally male."

(42 L.Ed.22 690 at 702) [emphasis added]

The question presented herein then whether Missouri offers

an “automatic exemption based solely on sex" and if, "the conse-

quences are that criminal jury venires are almost totally male."

The Missouri Constitution, Article I, Section 22(b) states:

"No citizen shall be disqualified from jury service because of

sex, but the court shall excuse any woman who requests exemption

therefrom kefore being sworn as a juror." This Article is imple-

mented by Section 497.130, Missouri Revised Statutes (1974),

which section allows women to “elect to serve or not to serve as

jury women."

when placed side by side and examined, the Missouri svstem

and che Louisiana system (later changed) both offer an absolute

exemption to jury service based strictly uvon sender. The differ-

Petitioner concludes that "(t)he States remain free to

prescribe relevant cualifications for their jurors and to provide

reasonable exemptions. . ." Taylor v. Loutstans, at §358. Petitioner,

however, does not believe that’a blanket exemption for women is a

reasonable exemption. Indeed, as pointed by Mr. Justice Seiler in

his dissenting opinion in State v. Btliv Durer, S§S5¢ S.#.2d Il, 2¢,

"The federal court (the United States District Court

Since Taylor, several states have been faced with challenges

to exemptions to women. All, except Missouri, have changed the

exemption by either statute or court decision, see, e.g. State v.

Gethers, 227 S.E.2d 832 (Ga.App.l976); Robinson v. Kimbrough, 540

§9-9-11; ltah Code Ann. §78-46-10(1¢). Missouri remains the only

state with an automatic exemption for women. Further, this exemp-

tion causes gross underrepresentation of women on jury panels.

(See attached exhibits as to the women appearing for jury service). Counsel for Petitioner

The instant opinion cannot stand as a correct interpretation of

this Court's opinion in Taylor. Unlike the Missouri Supreme Court,

Petitioner does not believe Taylor stands for the proposition that

any percentages of women on jury panels, higher than those found ¥

in Taylor, is constitutionally permissible; instead Taylor condemns

jury mechanisms which deny an accused his right to a jury drawn

from a reasonable cross-section of society. The Missouri jury selec-

tion system is of such a breed: Petitiner's panel (10% women)

cannot be considered as representative of society.

Accordingly, a Writ of Certiorari should issue to review the

Opinion of the Missouri Supreme Court affirming Petitioner's

conviction.

STIPULATION

by counsel,

» Assistant Public Defender, and the state,

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney,

and stipulate and agree as follows:

1. All persons summoned for jury duty in the year 1976,

including the persons summoned as prospective jurors in this case,

were selected from a jury wheel created in the following manner:

Under the cirection of the Circuit Court Admini-

Strator and the Jury Commissioner, the Department

of Court Computer Services created a computer data

file containing the name, address, sex and ward/

precinct number of every fourth registered voter

in Jackson County, Missouri, in the records of the

Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners and the

Independence Board of Election Commissioners. An

Official Notice and Questionnaire in the form pre-

scribed by Section 497.130 of the Missouri Revised

Statutes was mailed to each person whose name was

selected from the aforesaid list of registered voters.

Completed questionnaires were received in return

mail by employees of the Department of Court Com-

puter Services. The questionnaires are scrutinized

to determine if any of the responses shown on the

questionnaire indicated that that person was entitled

to exemption or to be excused from jury duty. The

names of those persons who appeared to be entitled

to exemption or to be excused from jury duty were

then removed from the role of those persons who

were sent questionnaires. The list of remaining

names constitutes the jury wheel of 1976.

Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a copy of a

"Summary of Questionnaire Processing for the 1976

Jury Wheel" prepared by Robert J. Kramer, Director

of Computer Services, which is a summary of the

number of questionnaires processed in the compil-

ation of the 1976 Jury Wheel for Jackson County,

and said Exhibit "A" may be admitted in evidence

in this case.

for the

Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a copy of a

memorandum showing the number of males whose

names are included in the 1976 Jury Wheel for

Jackson County and the number of females whose

names are included in the 1976 Jury Wheel for

Jackson County. Exhibit "Bp" and the information

shown in that exhibit may be admitted in evidence

in this case.

Prospective jurors are summoned as follows:

Prior to the week for which potential jurors are to

be summoned, the presiding judge and the jury commis-

sioner determine the number to be summoned. This

number is provided to the Department of Court Com-

puter Services which uses a computer programmed to

randomly select the designated number of potential

jurors from the 1976 Jury Wheel. The persons so

selected are mailed a jury summons identical to

the form of summons attached and marked Exhibit "C",

which exhibit is hereby incorporated by reference.

Attached Exhibit "D" (pages 1 through 7), which ex-

hibit is hereby incorporated by reference, is an

analysis of the sex and service of potential jurors

summoned for each jury week in 1976 through the week

of July 26, 1976. The figures contained in Exhibit

"D" may be admitted in evidence in this case.

On February 4, 1976, the Office of the Public Defender

Sixteenth Judicial Circuit was authorized to obtain from

the Jackson County Circuit Court Administrator all "Official Notice

and Questionnaire" forms which were received, processed and used to

compile the 1976 Jury Wheel for Jackson County. On February 11,

1976, the Office of the Public Defender received all such question-

naires from the Office of the Circuit Court Administrator.

The questionnaires were so sorted to separate those sent to

males from those sent to females. Questionnaires sent to females

were sorted to determine the following information and counted in

each category thereby obtaining the following totals:
