Description
The African Canadian Legal Clinic argues as an intervener that the B.C. Court of Appeal erred in upholding the trial judge\\'s finding about the potential for impartiality of jurors. It is contended that the court incorrectly applied the threshold test for s. 638.1(b) of the Criminal Code and imposed the evidentiary burden upon the accused to demonstrate racial partiality on the part of jurors.
