The Supreme Court has declined to review whether racial bias affected the death penalty case of a man convicted of shooting and killing Uptown Dallas dentist Kendra Hatcher in her parking garage.
At trial, during jury selection, prospective juror Zachary Niesman, who is White, was asked on his jury questionnaire:"Do you sometimes personally harbor bias against members of certain races or ethnic groups." He replied"No." The next question asked,"Do you believe that some races and/or ethnic groups tend to be more violent than others." Niesman replied,"Yes, statistics show more violent crimes are committed by certain races. I believe in statistics.
On appeal, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals did not address Love's federal claim that he was denied a constitutional right to an impartial jury.
