Odell Corey, now known as Nasih Kahlil Ra’id, was convicted of bank robbery that ended with the death of two bank tellers and left a security guard paralyzed. Ra’id appealed to the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, claiming prosecutors had stacked the jury with a majority of white members. He also claimed prosecutors unfairly influenced the jury by discussing his alleged involvement in an Atlanta murder during the sentencing. In a unanimous decision, the Seventh Circuit rejected each of the defendant’s claims. The full article from The News-Dispatch is here.
