I agree, and think that some states (I'm looking at YOU Texas), need to take note.
Nah, The State of Texas is an equal opportunity butcher.
I agree that something needs to be done to address the racial biases in capital sentencing, which we all know exist, but I agree with the prosecutors that the law is way, way too broad. The Supreme Court will see it that way, too. From their standpoint, and in this instance I agree with them, just demonstrating that race was a factor in the case doesn't mean that the case was unfair. Interestingly, it's application to this particular case seems like it has merit, however.
This actually opens up an entirely different can of worms. Minorities, for the time being at least, now have an easy out. Most of them will have their sentences tossed (at least temporarily). White people will have no such avenue.
Quite frankly, this whole thing seems quite the mess. Sounds like another reason to just blow off capital punishment. How much money is going to be spent now trying to defend a rather pointless practice?
