Beason v. Bentley
Petition for certiorari denied on January 9, 2012
Issue: Can the Alabama courts deny petitioners due
process through state interpretation
of common law res judicata that defies this Court’s
unanimous reversals of similar Alabama decisions
in Richards v. Jefferson County, Alabama (1996) and South Central Bell Telephone Co. v. Alabama
(1999) and that ignores this
Court’s unanimous recent holding denouncing the
doctrine of “virtual representation” in Taylor v. Sturgell (2008)?
