Share
Petition for certiorari denied on June 4, 2018
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-6883 5th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2017

Issue: Whether—when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit found that the new mitigating evidence discovered on federal habeas review was “double-edged” and could not outweigh the substantial aggravating evidence, and when it misapplied the standard for evaluating prejudice in a Wiggins claim—it denied the petitioner due process.
