the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the Ashland County death sentence of Maxwell White, but upheld his murder conviction.
The court ruled the sentence was improper because of a juror’s bias in favor of the death penalty against White in the Jan. 19, 1996, slaying of trooper James Gross after a traffic stop.
The court gave the state 180 days to hold a new penalty phase before White’s death sentence is set aside.
