Judge Was Correct to Overturn Murder Conviction After Black Juror Was Improperly Excluded, Says Law Professor Nancy Marder
“I think he did the right thing,” said Chicago-Kent College of Law professor and Batson expert Nancy Marder. “That is not the case with most Batson challenges I have seen. Usually, the judge accepts the reason as long as it appears, on the surface, to be race-neutral, but here, the judge didn't do that, and the judge was right not to do that.”
