““Alabama law, Code 1940, T. 30, § 21, as amended, does not exclude persons over 65 from being put on the jury roll. Rather it leaves serving after summons to the individual. “The defendant was entitled to a cross section of the community without purposeful exclusion, Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522 , 95 S.Ct. 692 , 42 L.Ed.2d 690 . Since trial was after January 21, 1975, Taylor controls. See Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31 , 95 S.Ct. 704 , 42 L.Ed.2d 790 .””
