Curtis Flowers was convicted and sentenced to death in 2010. Again. For the fourth time. For the same murders.
The case has been overturned three times on prosecutorial misconduct, and had two hung juries. During the second hung jury, the trial judge summoned the holdout juror and had him arrested.
Two of the three times his conviction was overturned, it was due to unquestionable violations Batson v. Kentucky, which essentially says that excluding jurors based on race is a violation of the requirement of equal protection of the laws.
A current challenge again based on Batson had oral argument before the Supreme Court today.
Kavanaugh is considered a possible swing vote.
Fascinating case.
