Texas Shari'a

"The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a challenge from a Texas death row inmate who claimed his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible during deliberations. The case involves Khristian Oliver, who shot and then bludgeoned his victim with the barrel of a gun. Jury members read Numbers 35:16, which calls for the death penalty if the victim is killed with an instrument of iron."
