Judge rules blind man can sue New York over jury dismissal
Original: Blind man dismissed from grand jury duty can sue NY for discrimination, judge rules https://gothamist.com/news/blind-man
A federal judge has ruled that a blind man who was dismissed from grand jury duty in New York can proceed with a discrimination lawsuit against the state. He argues he was excluded because of his disability, and the ruling allows his disability rights claim to move forward rather than being thrown out.
Why now: The ruling advances a notable disability rights case challenging how courts treat blind prospective jurors.
