Curtis Giovanni Flowers, Petitioner v. Mississippi — Alito, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Alito concurs with the majority that Curtis Flowers' capital convictions must be vacated because the Mississippi courts erred in finding no purposeful racial discrimination in jury selection. He emphasizes the case’s unique factual context and argues that the record does not support a Batson violation. He also critiques the Court’s handling of standing and the Batson doctrine.
