Convicted felons are barred from serving on a jury in Hawaii.

But state Sen. Karl Rhoads has introduced a bill to change that.

The proposal could open up jury duty for nearly 5,000 residents with a criminal past, according to Rhoads.

“Almost all felons get out of jail or get out of prison at some point,” Rhoads said, adding this would prevent recidivism by giving them back a benefit upon completion of their sentence, parole and probation
