The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of Texas death row inmate James Broadnax, who had sought a new trial.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the high court’s decision not to hear Mr. Broadnax’s appeal. They said they would “reserve the judgment,” meaning they would have postponed the judgment that had been issued by a lower court.
