Pageant, January 1975. ON THE NIGHT of December 30th, 1971, handsome, 31-year-old Pete Duel left his girlfriend in bed, walked naked into the front room of his house--and blew out his brains. Cerebral destruction, are the grim words of the police report that I read in the office of the local coroner.
Pete Hernandez is charged and convicted of murder. Courts rule that Mr. Hernandez didn't enjoy equal rights as he was white and not a minority therefore his right were not violated. The courts also said that defense was not allowed to be part of jury selection. Terms of Importance: 6th., 14th. Amendment issues; Equality under the Law. On appeal, Atty. Gus Garcia charges that Mr. Hernandez was denied his Constitutional rights because he is denied a jury of his peers. SC overturns conviction stating that Mr. Hernandez' rights were violated as he did enjoy Equal Protection. Mr. Hernandez wins a new trial and right to jury selection.
