Nora, executive director of an equal housing opportunity organization, was the leader of a sit-in at the offices of a real estate management company. The protest was designed to call attention to the company's racially discriminatory rental practices. When police demanded that Nora desist from trespassing on the company's property, she refused and was arrested. In Nora's trial for trespass, the prosecution peremptorily excused all nonwhites from the jury, arguing to the court that even though Nora was white, minority groups would automatically support Nora because of her fight against racism in housing accommodations. If Nora is convicted of trespass by an all-white jury and appeals, claiming a violation of her constitutional rights, the court should 
affirm the conviction, because Nora was not a member of the class discriminated against.  affirm the conviction, because peremptory challenge of the nonwhites did not deny Nora the right to an impartial jury.  reverse the conviction, because racially based peremptory challenges violate equal protection of the law.  reverse the conviction, because Nora was denied the right to have her case heard by a fair cross section of the community.
