From NPR:
There’s plenty of precedent for allowing non-citizens to sit in judgment, said UC
Irvine political science professor Louis Desipio. Most states in the 19th century
allowed permanent residents to serve on juries, and even vote. “In the old days, we
understood the period of permanent residence as one where immigrants were citizens
in waiting, or citizens in training,” Desipio said. The practice ended as laws became
more restrictive.
