"The only RACIST here is the JUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people committed horrible crimes and it is for the color of their skin they get off of Death Row?????? cantbtaught"

It is the color of their skin their got them on death row in the first place.

People need to understand the true meaning and motive behind the Racial (In)Justice Act (RJA). Efforts to get a conviction overturned are almost always a failure because the defendant is in fact guilty and the process was followed correctly. Only in extremely rare instances will the conviction be overturned. The RJA was enacted to “backdoor” the conviction and ultimately free the offender, which is going to happen. Once a judge, whether it be this bozo or a truly fair and impartial judge who does not harbor racist beliefs and hatred, makes a ruling that the sentence imposed by the jury was unfair and based upon a fabricated claim of racism, then the conviction, which came about by the same jury, is also unfair and based upon a fabricated claim of racism. The conviction of these three, as well as the previous defendant whose sentence was vacated by this same clown of a judge, will be overturned. Even if the RJA specifically prohibits the conviction from being overturned, that

Thank you for reading and responding to my posts.

"Piene2-so it's ok to murder babies but not convivted murderers??? baldchip"

I can not think of many cases of baby murders. Usually it is an abusive parent and they are tried like any other murderer. If on the other hand you are speaking of abortion, flushing some bit of tissue taken from a woman's body down the toilet is not murder because there is no human being involved. One might as well say the surgeon murdered my appendix when he removed it.

"Piene2 would you rather have a state executions or have vigilaties take care of the situations... ThomasL"

Well, if those are the only two choices I would prefer the vigilantes do the murder for two reasons. First we are all a part of the state and if vigilantes did the murder I wouldn't be a part of it. More importantly, anyone who would become a vigilante is as bad or worse than their victims. We can round them up and see to it that they spend the rest of their lives rotting away in prison where they belong..

Hes kinda like FOX News huh? Saying crazy things to get people worked up.

Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks agreed with their motions for re-sentencing under the state's Racial Justice Act, saying there was "powerful and unmistakable" evidence of race-conscious jury selection.

The only RACIST here is the JUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people committed horrible crimes and it is for the color of their skin they get off of Death Row??????

These people deserve the death penalty. The jurrors were picked and done their job. The issue here is black people were dimissed because of race. Was it because of race or because of intelligence, age, gender, attitude, or how the lawyers felt about that persons answers? Just because black people were not picked as jurrors doesn't mean it's racial. If I go to have heart surgery I want the very best surgeon. I will pick who i think is the best out of the Doctors in that field. RACE WILL NOT BE A FACTOR! I am white and if i wasn't picked as a jurror and a black man was GREAT! We as NORTH CAROLINA AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE A MARCH AND SHOW OUR DISGUST WITH THIS LAW, LAWYERS,AND JUDGE.If someone more intelligent than me will start this up I will Join In. I will stand beside any race to stop this nonsense. One of these cases involved the death of a BLACK LAW OFFICER. HE WAS A BLACK MAN.

I am sure that Judge Weeks astute ruling will no doubt gain the attention of our esteemed lame duck governess. She may appointed this fine piece of legal talent to the Court of Appeals unless she has already promised it to Cressie. Of course committments mean little to her. Just look at how committed she was to her previously ordered selection process.

If these murders do not call for the death penalty (and a couple of others over the last few years that were just as bad or worse that got life), what would? miseem

Nothing would. We need to give up the death penalty and join the majority of nations that got rid of it years ago. Now it's just us, China, Iran and the middle eastern Muslim nations and a few banana republics in the Caribbean. Not very good company for us to keep when we are purported to be a leader of human rights. But then we are not even in the top 10 of standard of living, longevity, education or standards of health care. This is not a surprise.
