Beason v. Bentley

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on September 1, 2012.

Docket No.11-157
Op. BelowAla. S. Ct.

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)?
