Bill > HB108

This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to add a new qualification for serving as a juror, specifically prohibiting individuals who have been convicted of a "crime of violence" or a "sex offense" from serving on a jury. A "crime of violence" is defined by Louisiana Revised Statute 14:2(B), and a "sex offense" is defined by Louisiana Revised Statute 15:541(24), meaning these are specific categories of serious crimes established in state law. This change aims to ensure that individuals with past convictions for these types of offenses are not selected to participate in the judicial process as jurors.
