for this case for the following reasons:<br />

44 L(OIC6 for the DefstselFebruary 1984<br />

. ,<br />

1<br />

Defendant would show the Court that<br />

whether by s ped venire or otherwise, all<br />

prospective jurors in Taylor County are<br />

selected from the voter registration roles.<br />

Defendant would further show the Court<br />

that there are statistics to show and dem-<br />

onstrate fbt in Abilene and Taylor Coun-<br />

ty approximately 63 percent of the eli@<br />

ble white population registers to vote,<br />

approximately 17 percent of the eligible<br />

black population registers to vote. Defen-<br />

dant would further show the Court that<br />

Defendant is a member of the black pop-<br />

ulation of Abiiene. As a result of low per-<br />

centage of minorities which register to<br />

vote in Abilene, and the exclusive use of<br />

the voter registeration roles to seIect pro-<br />

spective jurors, the effett of the Taylor<br />

County procedure is to systematically ex-<br />

clude a majority of the blacks and Mexi-<br />

canAmericans who are eligible for jury<br />

service from any consideration therefor.<br />

WHEREFORE, Defendant prays that<br />

the Court grant this Motion and quash<br />

the panel of prospective jurors called for<br />

this case, or, alternatively, prior to the<br />

calling of same, enter its appropriate order<br />

that, in this case, prospective jurors shall<br />

be randomly selected from among all res-<br />

idents of Taylor County who are eligible<br />

for jury service, whether registered to<br />

vote or not.<br />
