This week, in a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS found that Terry Pitchford, a Black man sentenced to death in Mississippi, was denied a fair trial. The trial court failed to properly apply Batson v. Kentucky, a landmark ruling that bars race-based jury strikes. Prosecutors removed 80% of Black potential jurors leaving him to face a jury of 11 white people and just one Black person.

This case was overseen by now-retired prosecutor Doug Evans, who also oversaw the racially biased jury selection in the 2019 overturned conviction of Curtis Flowers.
