United States Supreme Court


Rivera v. Illinois, 07-9995

Provided that all jurors seated in a criminal case are qualified and unbiased, the Due Process Clause does not require automatic reversal of a conviction because of the trial court's good-faith error in denying the defendant's peremptory challenge to a juror. Defendant's murder conviction is therefore affirmed.
