31 July 2022 :

Richard Clark’s death sentence overturned.
On July 14, 2022, a federal district court, citing juror misconduct, reversed the death sentence imposed on Richard Clark in Santa Clara County in 1987. Judge William H. Orrick of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California found that a juror in Clark’s case had “consulted with a religious figure about the propriety of voting for the death penalty” before deciding to vote for death, in violation of the juror’s oath to decide the case based solely on the evidence presented at trial.
