Judge overturns Mississippi death penalty case
SUMMARY: A mother visited a lawyer's office in August claiming her son was arrested and put in jail. A U.S. District Judge, Michael Mills, overturned the death penalty for a man convicted of murdering a store owner just outside of Grenada. The judge ruled that Mississippi must give Terry Pitchford a new trial on capital murder charges because the trial judge did not give the man's lawyer enough chance to argue that the prosecution was dismissing black jurors for discriminatory reasons. This decision was made after the judge found evidence of discriminatory jury selection practices.
A federal judge has overturned the death penalty conviction of a Mississippi man stemming from a fatal store robbery in 2004.
