The accused, Jonathan Green, brought an application challenging the jury panel for his sexual assault trial, alleging it was not representative of the District of Rainy River's population and thus non-compliant with the Juries Act.
The application was summarily dismissed as the Supreme Court of Canada's jurisprudence in *R. v. Kokopenace* emphasizes that representativeness focuses on the jury selection process, not the resulting composition of the jury roll or panel.
The court found no evidentiary basis to attack the selection process, and further, applied the principles from *R. v. Cody* regarding summary dismissal of applications lacking a reasonable prospect of success.
