Justice delayed in Texas

Buck's lawyers contend the case was "tainted by considerations of race" after psychologist Walter Quijano testified in response to a question from lead prosecutor Joan Huffman that black criminals are more likely to be violent again in the future. Whether or not someone could be a continuing threat to society is one of three questions Texas jurors must consider when deciding on a death sentence

I'd say the psychologist was correct.

Even if he gets a life sentence at least he's out of society for a while as long as he doesn't end up acquitted. I do think that's an interesting statistic though and I'd be curious to know what source the psychologist was using for that information.
