Dennis v. United States (339 U.S. 162)/Concurrence Reed

Mr. Justice REED concurs in the opinion and judgment of the Court.

He reads the Court's decision to mean that Government employees may be barred for implied bias when circumstances are properly brought to the court's attention which convince the court that Government employees would not be suitable jurors in a particular case. Absent such a showing, however, Government employees may not be barred from jury service merely because they are Government employees.

Mr. Justice DOUGLAS and Mr. Justice CLARK took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
