Heading: the court erred in failing to grant defendant's motion to quash jury panels.

Text: In Myers v. State, 268 So.2d 353, 355-356 (Miss. 1972) the Court stated that the statutory method of selecting a jury is directory and unless there was fraud, or such a radical departure from the procedure prescribed by statute as to be unfair to the defendant or to prevent a fair trial or deny to him due process of law, the conviction will not be reversed. As in Tolbert v. State, 402 So.2d 871 (Miss. 1981) there was not assertion and nothing to indicate that the jury was biased, prejudiced or unfair in this case. All the United States Constitution or the Mississippi Constitution requires of a jury in a criminal case is that it be impartial. 402 So.2d 873. There is no merit to appellant's assignment of error.
