The moisture will keep the Southeast states cool. Much of the area from New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana to Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine will be dry and warm for November with at least partial sunshine. A south- westerly flow of air will pump warm air northward from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes and New England. In the West, the chilliest air since last April in many locations is forecast to expand to southeastward with areas of snow.

Justice Stephen Breyer likened the chief prose- cutor to his excuse-filled grandson. Justice Elena Ka- gan said the case seemed as clear a violation "as a court is ever going to see" of rules the Supreme Court laid out in 1986 to prevent racial discrimination in the se- lection of juries. At least six of the nine justices indicated during arguments that black peo- ple were improperly singled out and kept off the jury that eventually sentenced defendant Timothy Tyrone Foster to death in 1987. Foster could win a new trial if the Supreme Court rules his way. The discus- sion Monday also suggested that a technical issue might prevent the justices from deciding the substance of Foster's case. Georgia Deputy Attor- ney General Beth Burton had little support on the court for the proposition that prosecutor Stephen Lanier advanced plausible "race-neutral" reasons that resulted in an all-white jury for Foster's trial. Fos- ter was convicted of kill- ing 79-year-old Queen Madge White in her home in Rome, Georgia. Several justices noted that Lanier's reasons for excusing people from the jury changed over time, in- cluding the arrest of the cousin of one black juror. The record in the case in- dicates that Lanier learned of the arrest only after the jury had been seated. "That seems an out and out false statement," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said. Breyer drew an analogy with a grandson who was looking for any reason not to do his homework, none of them especially convincing. "And so I would say my answer to my grandchild is, 'Look, you're not too tired to do your homework,'" Breyer said. With Lanier, he said, "I think any reasonable per- son looking at this would say no, his reason was a purpose to discriminate." Justice Samuel Alito, who typically sides with prose- cutors in criminal cases, was bothered by Lanier's explanation that the same juror whose cousin was ar- rested also was not chosen because she was close in age to Foster. "She was in her 30s. He was 18 or 19," Alito dryly said. The discussion of the ju- ror's cousin also prompted Justice Sonia Sotomayor to say that Lanier never es- tablished whether the ju- ror even was close to her cousin. "I have cousins who I know have been arrested, but I have no idea where they're in jail. I hardly — I don't know them," Soto- mayor said. Georgia courts have con- sistently rejected Foster's claims of discrimination, even after his lawyers ob- tained the prosecution's notes that revealed prose- cutors' focus on the black people in the jury pool. In one example, a handwritten note headed "Definite No's" listed six people, of whom five were the remaining black prospective jurors. The sixth person on the list was a white woman who made clear she would never impose the death penalty, Foster's lawyer, Stephen Bright said Monday. "Even she ranked behind the black jurors," Bright said. Burton tried to persuade the justices that the notes focused on black people in the jury pool because pros- ecutors were preparing to defend against discrimi- nation claims. Burton said the Supreme Court's rul- ing about race discrimina- tion in jury selection was about a year old when Fos- ter's case went to trial. The 1986 decision in Batson v. Kentucky set up a system by which trial judges could evaluate claims of discrim- ination and the race-neu- tral explanations by pros- ecutors. Foster's trial lawyers did not so much contest his guilt as try to explain it as a product of a troubled child- hood, drug abuse and men- tal illness. They also raised their objections about the exclusion of African-Amer- icans from the jury. On that point, the judge accepted Lanier's explanations that factors other than race drove his decisions. The jury convicted Foster and sentenced him to death. The jury issue was re- vived 19 years later, in 2006, when the state turned over the prosecution's notes in response to a request un- der Georgia's Open Records Act.
