Hall v. Watson

Whether (1) 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e) permits use of 28 U.S.C. § 2241 as a vehicle to present new evidence that a federal death sentence is tainted by racial discrimination when 28 U.S.C. § 2255 otherwise provides no avenue to present such evidence for consideration; and (2) whether executing a Black prisoner whose conviction and death sentence were procured through intentional race discrimination constitutes a fundamental miscarriage of justice, which overrides any procedural limitation on raising a Batson claim for review in federal court.
