M arch 1 Argentine mail to be resenteni Racial discrimination plays AUSTIN (AP) — An Argentine man on death row for a 1995 murder should be resentenced because his race was used as a key factor in sen tencing him to die, his lawyers and the Texas attorney general’s office told a state appeals court on Wednesday. “Racial discrimination is repug nant,” Stanley Schneider, attorney for condemned inmate Victor Hugo Sal- dano, said at a hearing before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. “We cannot allow a jury to consider the person’s color of his skin or his country of origin.” Saldano, 28, was convicted and sentenced to die for the abduction, -robbery and shooting death of Paul King in Collin County, near Dallas. Texas Attorney General John Cornyn has acknowledged before the U.S. Supreme Court that trial testi mony about Saldano’s Hispanic background was inappropriate. A psychologist had testified it was among several reasons why the Ar gentine laborer was a future danger to society. In Texas, the question of future dangerousness is one of the elements for a jury to consider before deciding whether a capital murder convict should be put to death. Cornyn’s position put him at odds with prosecutors who contended he did not have the authority to make such a claim to the U.S. Supreme Court and that Saldano’s sentence should stand. The Court of Criminal Appeals, the state’s highest criminal appeals court, previously ruled 6-2 against granting Saldano a new trial or sen tencing. With Cornyn’s admission, however, the U.S. Supreme Court set aside that ruling and asked the state court to consider Saldano’s case again. On Wednesday, Cornyn’s office ar gued before the appeals court that Sal dano should be resente the racial testimony,! in him getting thedeathp State prosecutors,li the court not to changeitsjj Texas law requires S| torney to object to evi( wants to raise the is There was no objection tn| based testimony, saids ing attorney Matthew W] “If it were up to i have put on the testim| Paul said. “Race shouldip the picture at trial in< assert, you havetoobjeefj al. he added.
