A federal appeals court will review the case of Georgia death row inmate Keith Leroy Tharpe after claims one of the jurors in his case used a racial slur to describe him and reportedly once posited black people may not have souls. So reports The New York Daily News.
Tharpe was convicted of killing his sister-in-law Jacquelin Freeman nearly three decades ago. Barney Gattie, the white juror at the heart of the matter, testified after making the racially charged comments that he actually voted to convict Tharpe based on the evidence, though.
