Explanation:

In the landmark civil rights case Hernandez v. Texas, the United States Supreme Court expanded human rights to Mexican Americans.

Peter Hernandez, a Mexican-American farm worker, was found guilty of the cold-blooded murder of Joe Espinosa in a bar in Edna, Texas, in 1951. Hernandez's pro bono defence team, which included Gustavo C. Garcia, challenged the decision, claiming that he was discriminated against because the jury that acquitted him did not include any Mexicans. They hoped to end "the widespread removal of people of Mexican descent from all forms of jury service in at least seventy counties in Texas," as they put it. They claimed that Hernandez had the right to a jury trial under the 14th Amendment, but the 14th Amendment was a special civil rights amendment at the time.
