That’s what I wondered. I thought I had heard that a single Justice can stay an execution if an appeal goes to the U.S. Supreme Court.
I wonder if one of the liberal bloc did this???
A vote of four can grant cert. Doubtless the liberal four all signed on, and it’s possible that Kennedy or Thomas went off the reservation.
If America is serious about being race blind, a new sentencing hearing for this killer is a small price to pay for it.
