To be tried by a group of "fellow citizens" refers to being tried before a jury of the defendant's "peers." This provision is not provided by the United States Constitution. The Sixth Amendment requires juries to be impartial. In addition, Article III, Section 2 of the United States Constitution requires defendants be tried by juries selected from the state in which the crime was committed.
