free and free trial under the Fourth Amendment it says that you must have a proper equal and no deniability of who you are should be given so they're at constitutional rights were challenged Norris the Alabama challenged the state of Alabama because what they did was unconstitutional under the law they convicted a young man without any support any evidence and needed to be reversed these young men were given the death penalty in life without parole without any outlandish evidence the Supreme Court agreed that this court case had no support system no laws and the 14th amendment was the protection cross the court case highlighted other places such as shroud of me West Virginia Neil V Delaware to address the natural suit on how they were given on equal footing how can a jury not of their peers not their like-minded individuals but a concurrently white people cannot be proven to convict other people the case went in and used their word called Prime fessa which means the acceptance of true unused precedes that a discrimination law cannot substantially hold black Americans and communities that have not been accused on a jury they must have representation of themselves like-minded individual that is why a jury pool cannot be one particular race ethnicity or social class you need people from all different Dynamics to get a fair balance and even trial Mr Norris died
