It is the second time #SCOTUS has effectively thrown out a #capital case after the same #Mississippi prosecutor was accused of excluding #Black #jurors.
Pitchford was convicted of murder in 2006 & sentenced to death by a jury in Mississippi. It was his partner who fatally shot shop owner Reuben Britt with a .22-caliber pistol during the armed robbery, acc/to court filings. Pitchford, who was 18 at the time of the robbery, was accused of being an accomplice.

#SCOTUS Thursday sided with a Mississippi man who was sent to #DeathRow for his role in the murder of shopkeeper, upholding a lower court’s decision to vacate his conviction because of potential #RacialBias in #JurySelection.
In a 5-4 vote, the court found #TerryPitchford, who is #Black, did not have the opportunity to challenge the dismissal of 4 Black potential #jurors.#law #racism

Prosecutors w/Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg's office said limits on Trump's speech about trial witnesses were no longer needed. But they urged Justice Juan #Merchan to keep in place restrictions on his comments about #jurors, #CourtStaff & individual #prosecutors, citing risks to their #safety.

The judge overseeing the #HunterBiden case is nearly done w/ #JurySelection, having narrowed the field down to 32 potential candidates, from which defense lawyers & prosecutors will use peremptory challenges to end up w/a dozen #jurors & 4 alternates. It is increasingly likely that jury selection, which began Monday morning, will finish by the afternoon.

The prospective #jurors left for the lawyers discussion, some may be brought back in for individual interviews. The defense & the prosecution may both seek to strike jurors "for cause." If they can't do so, they will use their limited number of peremptory challenges, which allow them to excuse jurors w/o a reason.
Those who survive challenges will be seated on the jury unless this process has given them the concerns articulated above.

#Trump's lawyer, Susan Necheles, confronted many prospective #jurors about their #socialmedia activity, clearly the lawyers know things about them, a lot of which was not stuff they were asked in open court. They clearly have people doing deep dives on these people. It’d be pretty hard to not have concerns that their identities will be *leaked*

Steinglass explains the concept of “accessorial liability.” He uses the same analogy he did on Tues: a husband hiring a hitman to murder his wife, he asks prospective #jurors if they would understand the husband to be #guilty of the #crime. Today, though, the #defense lawyers object. #Merchan overrules, & the hitman question stands.
Steinglass managed to compare #Trump coordinating the falsification of docs w/a husband putting out a hit on his wife.

#TrumpTrial #jurors’ concerns
#JurySelection began w/a sworn in juror getting dismissed over doxxing concerns.
“I definitely have concerns now. One of them especially being the aspects of my identity have already been out there in public. Yesterday alone I had friends, colleagues & family push things to my phone regarding questioning my identity as a juror.”#Trump #law #crime #intimidation #JuryTampering
