From The Courts

 
Equal justice under law requires a criminal trial free of racial discrimination in the jury selection process.
— Justice Brett Kavanaugh
Overt racial bias has no place in the justice system. Further, and most importantly, the pursuit of justice is incompatible with deception. Prosecutors must never be dishonest to or mislead defense counsel, courts or juries.
— GLENN FUNK, DISTRICT ATTORNEY GENERAL, DAVIDSON COUNTY, AUG. 28, 2019, DAVIDSON COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT, JUDGE MONTE WATKINS PRESIDING
Clemency is not “a matter of mercy alone,” but rather is the ‘fail safe’ in our criminal justice system. Harbison v. Bell, 556 U. S. 180, 192 (2009) (quoting Herrera v. Collins, 506 U. S. 390, 415 (1993)).
— Justice Sonia Sotomayor
