WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review whether race played a role in the selection of an all-white jury that imposed a death sentence on a black man in Louisiana.
Allen Snyder was convicted in 1996 of stabbing his estranged wife 15 times and killing a man with whom she was talking.
The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that race had no part in the prosecutor's decisions involving black potential jurors.
