Claim 1: “The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Black death row inmate who argued racial discrimination occurred in the jury-selection process”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction within the provided web search results. One source states the Court 'turns down appeals' by a death row inmate claiming racial discrimination, while two other sources explicitly state the Court 'ruled in favor' of the inmate (Curtis Flowers) regarding racial bias in jury selection. Because the evidence provided contains contradictory reports on the outcome, the claim is disputed.
