International Wrongful Conviction Day…
October 2, 2022…
Join The Justice for Gerard Movement FB/ YouTube…for “Turning A Moment Into A Movement”
….as we discussed the Supreme Court ruling…
(Shinn v. Martinez Ramirez) …..that people in state prison no longer have a broad constitutional right to present new evidence in federal court to support claims that they weren’t adequately represented at trial or on appeal.
The ruling also narrows the scope of Sixth Amendment rights: It means federal courts can still hear inadequate legal representation claims but can’t consider evidence that wasn’t already presented in earlier proceedings.
Now…federal courts will be compelled in many instances to simply disregard similar evidence of innocence or inadequate representation if it wasn't presented during trial or appeal, including for charges much less serious than capital murder.
