Court Allows New Trial Over Jury Bias

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court allowed a new trial to proceed Monday for a black man sentenced to death 18 years ago in a case in which prosecutors improperly restricted opportunities for blacks to serve on his jury. The court, with comment, declined to hear Philadelphia's appeal in the case of Arnold Holloway, 62, who allegedly murdered a fellow drug dealer in 1980. Posted by Editor at November 3, 2004 01:18 PM
