That's the only thing it is equipped to do, it's the only thing it wants to do. https://twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/status/1528740991422939136 https://twitter.com/jaywillis/status/1528849268135841792 Background on the case: https://deathpenalty.org/innocence-isnt-enough-here-arizona-tells-scotus/ Both Ramirez and Jones were sentenced to death in Arizona. Jones has always maintained his innocence, and there is a great deal of evidence supporting his claim. Ramirez has an intellectual disability and was subjected to severe childhood trauma and abuse. In both cases, their state-appointed lawyers failed to present this evidence, or any meaningful evidence, to bolster their defense. See also: https://theintercept.com/2021/07/31/death-penalty-supreme-court-arizona-barry-jones/ Tl;dr: the Supreme Court threw out the overturning of two death penalty convictions in Arizona after evidence showed one was innocent and one received ineffective counsel. --- kin to all that throbs ...

Ramirez killed a mother and child, he just couldn't prove his IQ was low enough to get off. Not worried about this one. Jones is almost assuredly the guy who killed his girlfriends 4 year old daughter, given the insane amount of circumstantial evidence. If there is any evidence that would change this or simply point elsewhere (circumstantial or not), however, it needs to be presentable. Based on what Ive seen, Im pretty convinced it was him, but thats not enough for a death penalty conviction. These are two WILDLY different cases from what I cam gather. I am not a lawyer or a juror on this case, so this is just opinion. --- This is a cool sig ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jerry_Hellyeah posted... Jones is almost assuredly the guy who killed his girlfriends 4 year old daughter, There is really really really strong non-circumstantial evidence he did not. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/09/arizona-death-row-barry-jones-evidentiary-hearing/ At the bare minimum, he absolutely did not rape her as her vaginal injury predates ever meeting him in the first place. It is most likely that she died of an infection from an injury that she sustained 2-3 days prior to death. Well outside of the time frame in which Jones was alleged to have killed her. Edit: and once you execute Jones, you don't get to do a takesies backsies when you realize you fucked up later. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

They are put into position by an elected stupid person.They were appointed by presidents who went to Harvard, Yale (both, in W's case) and Penn, and approved by a senateful of lawyers. Now, degrees do not preclude one from being stupid, but it's important not to use uneducated and stupid as synonyms. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Were_Wyrm posted... So you can prove your innocence and still get executed, sounds like one of those corrupt badguy countries from an 80's action movie. No. That isnt really what this case was about. The case involved weighing two competing legal issues. One, Supreme Court precedent that said people had a right to raise factual issues like defective councel for the first time in federal court and the second, a federal law that prevented it. The court reversed its prior precedent and found the law preventing the introduction of factual evidence in federal court was correct. Procedurally, this isnt that odd if you think about how the judiciary is set up. Trial courts are generally the fact finders and you cant raise factual issues on appeal. Here the defendants raised factual issue about their ineffective counsel outside of trial court which was the basis for the question presented. The focus on the quote about innocence is more about the effect of the decision and not an issue that was decided. This decision makes it much harder for people on death row to bring up trial court failures (such as new evidence supporting their innocence) years after the trial. I personally think it was a mistake and bad decision but wanted to provide more context. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
