Supreme Court rules for Black death row inmate from Mississippi over racial bias in makeup of jury

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Black death row inmate Terry Pitchford from Mississippi, who claimed racial bias in his jury's composition. The decision addresses whether Pitchford's lawyers adequately objected to a trial judge's rulings and whether Mississippi's state Supreme Court reasonably upheld them, with historical ties to prosecutor Doug Evans' past discriminatory jury dismissals.
