From the Texas Tribune:
"The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles today voted against recommending clemency for Duane Edward Buck, rejecting the pleas of his lawyers, a victim he shot and a prosecutor who was on the team that sentenced him to death.
"During Buck's 1997 capital murder trial in Houston, Dr. Walter Quijano told jurors that the fact that he was black meant Buck was more likely to be violent in the future."
A colorblind world?
