According to an Associated Press
news release, the
notoriously liberal
United States Court of Appeals for
California's Ninth Circuit
ordered a new trial for a man convicted of killing the
daughter of the former
National Football League
star Fred Biletnikoff.
The court cited
racial discrimination in the trial of
Mohammed Haroon Ali [A Muslim Indian from Fiji]
who admitted that in 1999 he strangled his 20-year-old
girl friend Tracey Biletnikoff. To support its
conclusion, the court said [PDF]
the San Mateo County prosecutor, Steve Wagstaffe, was
improperly motivated by race when he dismissed the
only two black potential jurors from the jury.
Wagstaffe said that
race had not been a factor in jury selection and
that prosecutors were considering whether to appeal the
ruling.
Jurors convicted Ali of first-degree
murder rather than the lesser charge of manslaughter. He
is currently serving a sentence of 55 years to life. [New
Trial Ordered in Killing of Former N.F.L. Star's
Daughter, Associated Press, July 7, 2009]
Cases like this should be dealt with
by the
Supreme Court in
one sentence: Reversed on the record below. However, it
refuses to consider about 98 percent of applications,
including all the easy ones like this, and instead
spends weeks writing lengthy opinions, dissents and
concurrences in a handful of selected cases.
Since it has no restraints, the Ninth
Circuit continues
to hammer whites
daily.
