Asked by Robert
In Avery v. Georgia, a Fulton County jury convicted Avery, an African-American, of a
serious felony. There were no African-Americans on the jury. At the time, there were 165,814 African-Americans in the county with a total population of 691,797. A list of 21,624 potential jurors had 1,115 African-Americans on it. A jury pool of 60 people was selected (supposedly at random). From that list, the final 12 were selected. What is the likelihood that from the list of potential jurors, that none of the 12 would be African-American?
