The attorney for a man convicted of attempted murder after a fistfight escalated into gunshots fired blindly into a crowd argued before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that the jury in his client’s case should have been more thoroughly screened for victims of gun violence.

On Wednesday in Philadelphia, the justices heard argument in Commonwealth v. Williams. Raheem Williams’ 25- to 50-year prison sentence was affirmed by the state Superior Court, which rejected his argument that the jury questionnaire was not sufficient to root out potential bias regarding guns or gun violence, as wall as race.
