Twelve of the last 13 new death sentences obtained by the Texas Harris County District Attorney's Office have been against African-Americans.
Duane Buck, 48, is among the dozen.
Buck was sentence to death for the fatal shootings of his 32-year-old ex-girlfriend and a man in her apartment back in July 1995 a week after Buck and his girlfriend had ended their relationship. His attorneys have made the case that Buck deserves a new sentence hearing because of a former prison psychologist's testimony that black people were more likely to commit violence.
Sounds like a great place to raise a family!
