Court won't stop new trial in Biletnikoff death - Yahoo! News

This article is not very long, but it touches on subjects discussed in chapter 2, including (briefly) jury selection and the Circuit Court of Appeals. Maybe I'm missing something, but this guy admitted to and demonstrated how he killed this girl. Still the conviction was thrown out! Was the Court of Appeals actually able to prove that race was a motivating factor in the selection of this jury? Did the US Supreme Court also think that the admission to the crime didn't warrant another opinion? I think it's obvious how I feel. What do you think?
