“"`We do not mean to say that there was any fraud practiced in this case. That is beside the point. The legislature has seen fit to prescribe the manner of selecting juries. The officers charged with this duty must at least substantially comply with the procedure prescribed. Courts are not authorized to ignore, emasculate, or set aside the statutory provisions. '"”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Windsor v. State“In the absence of prejudice to the defendant, the test is whether the statutes were substantially complied with. The purpose of the statutory process is to ensure random selection of jurors, to prevent jury packing or selection of jurors “with reference to particular cases.” With the handpicking of over half of the panel, this objective was frustrated here.”
