#DougEvans made similar maneuvers during Pitchford’s trial, selecting a disproportionate number of #White #jurors compared with Black ones….By the time the judge had excused various potential jurors, the pool was composed of 36 White & 5 Black people.
Evans then used 7 peremptory challenges to strike 4 of the 5 #Black prospective jurors….He had marked up his juror list by placing a “W” next to the names of the White people & “B” next to the names of Black people, court records show.

In 2019, #SCOTUS reversed the conviction of another #Black #Mississippi man, Curtis Flowers, whom #DougEvans also prosecuted in a capital murder case. Flowers was tried 6 times. The justices found, 7-2, that Evans — now retired — had worked relentlessly to keep Black people off the #jury.

For two decades, Pitchford had argued his conviction was not valid, pointing to what he said were racially biased selections of the jurors who heard the case. Only one of the 12 jurors was #Black — in a county that was 40% African American, according to Pitchford’s filings. More troubling, Pitchford says, is that those jurors were selected by #DougEvans, a prosecutor with a history of maneuvering to keep Black people off juries.
