WASHINGTON POST JANUARY 5 2017 TRIAL
Instead, Sotomayor explained, the state court ruled that even if the trial judge was wrong to allow Niesman to be seated on the jury, Love could not show that he was harmed by that mistake because the judge had given his lawyer two extra peremptory challenges – which he had already used by the time Niesman was called. Stressing that “acial bias is ‘odious in all respects,’ but ‘especially pernicious in the administration of justice,’” she wrote that she would have invalidated the ruling by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals – the state’s highest court for criminal cases – and sent the case back for “proper consideration.” The state court, Sotomayor observed, never addressed Love’s contention that he had been deprived of his constitutional right to an impartial jury. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, in a seven-page opinion joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. After considering the case at 10 consecutive conferences, the justices on Monday denied review. Love came to the Supreme Court last summer, asking the justices to decide whether allowing Niesman to sit on the jury even after Love’s attorney had challenged him violated Love’s constitutional rights. At Love’s trial, his attorney unsuccessfully sought to have a potential juror, Zachary Niesman, excluded from the jury because he was racially biased: Niesman had contended during jury selection that “non-white races” were statistically more violent than whites. The justices refused to hear the case of Kristopher Love, a Black man who was sentenced to death in Texas for his role in the 2015 murder-for-hire of Dr. The justices also called for the views of the U.S.
The justices did not add any new cases to their docket, and over the dissent of the three liberals, the court denied review in the case of a death-row inmate who argued that he was deprived of his right to a fair trial because one of his jurors expressed racist views.
