US top court backs Texas death row inmate in race case

By Lawrence Hurley
WASHINGTON, Feb 22 (Reuters) The US Supreme Court today ruled in favor of a convicted murderer in Texas who is seeking to avoid execution after his own trial lawyer called an expert witness who testified the man was more apt to be dangerous in the future because he is black.
The court ruled 6-2 that death row inmate Duane Buck, 53, should get a shot at a new sentence in a state that has executed more people than any other since capital punishment was reinstated in the United States four decades ago.
