💨 Abstract

Attorneys for Payton Gendron, who was convicted for killing 10 Black individuals at a Buffalo supermarket, argue that his federal charges should be dropped due to alleged underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic individuals on the grand jury that indicted him. The lawyers claim the jury selection process was flawed as these groups were “systemically and significantly underrepresented.” Gendron faces hate crime and weapons charges, potentially the death penalty.
