Docket No.21-5050

Issue

(1) Whether Texas' Court of Criminal Appeals, the only court of last resort reviewing direct appeals in death penalty cases, has decided an important federal question concerning a racially biased juror being allowed on a capital death penalty jury in violation of petitioner Kristopher Love's rights under the Sixth and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution; and (2) whether Texas' Court of Criminal Appeals, the only court of last resort reviewing direct appeals in death penalty cases, has decided an important federal question concerning a racially biased juror in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of the Supreme Court in violation of Love's rights under the Sixth and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution.
