Connecticut's Supreme Court is starting a task force to study racial discrimination during jury selection in criminal trials.
Chief Justice Richard Robinson made the announcement in a recent decision on the 2013 murder conviction of an African American.
The convicted man argued the prosecutor made a discriminatory decision when he kept an African American man off the jury who said he “didn't believe police were always fair."
