Description
Defendant's case was called and he was arraigned in open court, entered a plea of not guilty, and twelve jurors were called to the jury box but not empaneled. Defense counsel then moved to dismiss the entire jury ""for the reason that there are no blacks."" Defendant offered no evidence in support of this motion and the court overruled it. Defendant argues that the court erred in summarily denying his motion without giving him an opportunity to offer evidence on the motion and without requiring the State to show affirmatively the absence of systematic exclusion. This is the first assignment discussed in defendant's brief.
