  6.     When lawyers sought to find out why more blacks and Hispanics
  7. weren't serving on grand juries in Hartford, Connecticut, they
  8. made a surprising discovery. Citizens of Hartford haven't been
  9. doing their fair share of grand jury duty for the past three
  10. years. Not that they were shirking their civic
  11. responsibilities. A computer glitch forced the d at the end of
  12. Hartford into the column used for information about prospective
  13. federal jurors. The result: 5,500 healthy Hartford citizens were
  14. listed as dead. "It's caused us a lot of grief," concedes Kevin
  15. Rowe, the clerk of the federal court.
