Dr. David Eden released his ruling on weather a legally valid jury can be selected from the Thunder Bay Judicial District. Eden says the 2011 jury roll for the Judicial District of Thunder Bay is not representative and does not comply with the Juries Act. In March 2011, Regional Senior Justice Pierce adjourned a murder trial of 15-year-old Reggie Bushie due to the lack of First Nations representation on jury rolls in Northern Ontario.
