Description
Petitioner was charged with assault to rob and assault with a deadly weapon. Trial was to a jury. The voir dire examination of prospective jurors was not recorded. However, we are able to gather from the record -- and there is no contention to the contrary -- that defense counsel, while interrogating the jurors, inquired of at least two jurors whether the fact that petitioner was part Chicano and part Indian would prevent them from being fair and impartial jurors. The district attorney thereafter objected to this question. The court admonished defense counsel not to pursue the racial matter further unless proof of petitioners racial background would be offered. Defense counsel advised that he intended to offer testimony concerning petitioners Chicano-Indian background. However, in subsequent questioning of the jury panel, counsel limited his questions concerning racial prejudice to inquiring whether the jurors could give petitioner, whose name was "Maes," as fair a trial as they could if his name were "Smith" or "Jones." No further objections were made and the jury was impaneled.
