4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Racial discrimination in selection of jurors harms not only the accused whose life or liberty they are summoned to try. Competence to serve as a juror ultimately depends on an assessment of individual qualifications and ability impartially to consider evidence presented at a trial ... [B]y denying a person participation in jury service on account of his race, the State unconstitutionally discriminate^] against the excluded juror ... The harm from discriminatory jury selection extends beyond that inflicted on the defendant and the excluded juror to touch the entire community. Selection procedures that purposefully exclude black [or white] persons from juries undermine public confidence in the fairness of our system of justice.”
