Supreme Court spares Maxwell as death penalty challenge moves on
The Supreme Court, in a 6-1 ruling, spared William L. Maxwell from execution but left unresolved the jury bias issue in capital cases. The decision allows Maxwell to pursue lower-court arguments that opponents of capital punishment were barred from juries. The Court also granted review in California and Ohio death-penalty appeals, delaying a full ruling until next term. Justice Blackmun joins the bench next week, while Justice Black dissented on the jury issue in 1963.
