Heading: Challenge to the Grand Jury

Text: 56 Quinones argues that the court erred when, in reviewing Quinones' claim as to the grand jury, it confined its inquiry to the racial composition of the twenty-one member grand jury that indicted him. We need not reach this issue, however, because Quinones failed to present any evidence to the district court as to the racial composition of the four-year wheel from which his grand jury was drawn. Quinones' expert only analyzed the 1992 jury wheel. This means that Quinones did not meet the second prong of the Duren test as to his grand jury claim. That is, because Quinones did not present any analysis of the jury wheel from which the grand jury was drawn, he did not make a showing that the representation of Hispanics in the wheels from which the grand jury was drawn [was] not fair and reasonable in relation to the number of such persons in the community. Duren, 439 U.S. at 364.
