From The Courts
“Equal justice under law requires a criminal trial free of racial discrimination in the jury selection process.”
“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.”
“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)).”
