Biography
Bennie Daniels was a North Carolina death-row prisoner whose habeas case challenged racial discrimination in jury selection.
The April 1952 Guardian names Bennie Daniels among condemned North Carolina defendants. The Supreme Court’s Brown v. Allen opinion identifies actual state prisoners challenging their convictions, including allegations of discriminatory jury selection. The death sentence is an imposed penalty, not a measured custody duration; exact physical custody endpoints are not established here.
