The correct answer is Jury selection (second option)

Pete Hernandez's lawyer, Gustavo (Gus) GarcĂ­a argued that those who administered the process of jury selection introduced discrimination because of exclusion based on class; he pointed out that no person of Mexican origin had served on a jury for at least twenty-five years. The state admitted to the claim but argued that it was a mere coincidence, not a pattern of attitude and behavior.
