'Black folk don't testify against black folk': Murder conviction thrown out due to lawyer's racist comments | Mail Online: "The Supreme Court have thrown out a murder conviction after they found that the prosecution made racist comments against witnesses and in his closing argument.

The court in Seattle overturned the conviction against Kevin L. Monday Jnr, who was found guilty and sentenced to 64 years in prison for the murder of Francisco Green in April 2006.

He was convicted in 2007 of first-degree murder and assault and appealed on the grounds he did not get a 'fair and impartial trial' as set out in the Bill of Rights."
