A 'challenge to the array' is a motion alleging what?

• A. The jurors were selected with bias
• B. The jurors are not citizens
• C. The jurors are related to the defendant
• D. The jurors were not sworn

Answer: (A)

A challenge to the array focuses on the fairness of the jury pool itself, arguing that the method or source used to choose potential jurors produced a biased cross-section. If the court finds the pool biased, the remedy is to set aside that panel and select a new jury from a different source to restore due process. This is why the option about jurors being selected with bias best fits the concept. Other scenarios—jurors not being citizens, jurors related to the defendant, or jurors not being sworn—do not address the overall bias in how the jury pool was drawn, which is the essence of a challenge to the array.
