The Supreme Court on Tuesday revived a challenge by a death row inmate in Oklahoma who claims prosecutors “sex-shamed” her during her trial, referring to her as a “slut puppy” and holding up her thong for the jury.

The court instructed an appeals court to reconsider whether lurid evidence tainted the trial of Brenda Andrew, the only woman on Oklahoma’s death row.
