Brookhart v. Smith
Petition for certiorari denied on March 28, 2022
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th
Circuit violated 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)’s strictures in
awarding habeas relief to the respondent, Kenneth Smith, based on its own
reweighing of the evidence rather than deferring to
the state court’s contrary view.
