US Supreme Court Declines Warren King Juror Case

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case of Warren King, a Black man on death row in Georgia, who claimed his trial was unfair due to the exclusion of Black jurors by the prosecutor. King was convicted of murder in 1994, with the prosecutor eliminating 87.5% of eligible Black jurors and only 8.8% of eligible white jurors. Despite new DNA evidence ruling him out as a suspect, Williams faces a death sentence in Missouri, with legal challenges ongoing. The defense argued that discrimination based on race and gender should play no role in the legal system, emphasizing the need for fairness in such critical cases.
