Cert. Denied In Bible-In-Jury Room Case

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Colorado v. Harlan. Thus it refused to review the 3-2 decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that had held that using a Bible in the jury room during deliberations undermines a capital defendant's right to a fair trial. The denial of cert. and reactions to it are reported today by the Christian Science Monitor.
