Excerpts from 2 Paragraphs -
The Supreme Court of the United States found in favor of Timothy Tyrone Foster, a black man on death row in Georgia. Convicted of killing a white woman in 1987, Foster's case before the nation's highest court claimed that he was a victim of racial discrimination at his original trial. SCOTUS agreed in a rare 7-1 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing: "The focus on race in the prosecution's file plainly demonstrates a concerted effort to keep black prospective jurors off the jury."

Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court's only African American Justice, was the lone dissenting vote.

Of course he was (my comment).
