What was the legal position of the state of Texas in Hernandez v. Texas, a case that determined denying Latinos the right to serve on juries unconstitutional?
Latinos had equal protection of the law.
Pete Hernandez was guilty of murder, and the makeup of the jury was irrelevant.
Latinos generally were unqualified to serve on juries, so no discrimination had taken place.
Latinos were white, so all-Anglo juries qualified as legal peers to the extent required by law.
