Justices issue orders on murder-for-hire case involving social media influencer, the role of race in seizing persons, and the execution of a Texas man claiming to be intellectually disabled

The Supreme Court ordered a lower court to reevaluate a murder-for-hire case involving Ashley Grayson, a Texas-based social media influencer, after the government conceded the court applied the wrong rule regarding a recorded FaceTime call. The court also denied review in two other criminal cases, with dissents from Justice Samuel Alito and the court’s three Democratic appointees.
