Episode Details

The U.S. Supreme Court paves the way for a new trial for Michael Sockwell, a death row inmate in Alabama, after prosecutors were found to have violated his Fourteenth Amendment rights by striking potential Black jurors. The original jury recommended life in prison, but the judge imposed a death sentence, which has since been banned in Alabama. The wife involved in the plot was convicted of capital murder and now serves life in prison. A federal judge has ordered prosecutors to start a new trial by March eighteenth or release Sockwell.
