State v. Potts10/15/2001
as violated, or that the jury which tried him was not impartial.
Respondent has failed to make either of these showings. The procedure for empaneling jurors employed at his trial comported with South Carolina law. Nothing in § 22-2-80 requires that the jurors be brought face to face with the accused prior to the accused's exercise of peremptory challenges. Thus, Respondent has not shown that the procedure employed at his trial violated the provisions of that statute. Respondent makes no claim that the jury empaneled in his trial was not impartial, nor has he shown that he was deprived of any right granted by the Constitution of this state or of the United States.
CONCLUSION
Because Respondent has not shown that the statutes governing the jury selection process in magistrate's court were violated, and because he makes no claim that his jury was not impartial, we REVERSE the order of the circuit court reversing Respondent's conviction.
TOAL, C.J., MOORE, WALLER and BURNETT, JJ., concur.
