Supreme Court blocks death sentence for juror exclusion
The Supreme Court, in a 6 to 3 ruling, vacates a Georgia death sentence over the improper exclusion of a juror who voiced doubts about capital punishment. The unsigned two page decision cites 1968 precedent requiring questioning to ensure jurors are not irrevocably opposed to the death penalty. Curfew Davis, convicted for the 1972 killing of Ann Starnes, saw the Georgia high court uphold the sentence despite recognizing the error.
