    The Fourth Circuit has denied Mahdi’s appeal and affirmed the district court’s denial of his habeas petition.

    COAs had been granted on five claims.

    Mahdi was claiming that he was prejudiced against because the court didn't hear evidence of his ancestral slave linage.
    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    Virtually every Black death row inmate is probably descended from slaves through at least one grandparent, considering, well, most Black Americans have such lineage. Hell, Clarence Thomas traced his ancestry to slaves in Liberty County, Georgia, as stated in his autobiography.

The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
