Sixth Amendment

The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides in pertinent part:


 * In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. . ..

A sixth amendment issue may be raised by use of computerized dossiers of potential jurors along with computer models for predicting juror behavior. Such use may endanger the entire concept of an “impartial” jury.
