New from @michellepitcher.bsky.social: 1000+ people have been exonerated in the U.S. since 1989 after being convicted based on false or misleading forensic evidence. An upcoming SCOTUS decision could set a key precedent around junk science convictions:

Texas' Top Criminal Court Has Stymied the State's 'Junk Science' Law. Will SCOTUS Intervene?
If the U.S. Supreme Court renders a decision in favor of Charles Flores and others, it would likely force the Court of Criminal Appeals to relax its extremely strict handling of appeals based on shodd...

After recapping a busy week of #SCOTUS news, today's "One First" takes a deep dive into our new cert. petition challenging the constitutionality of the "short-martial"—the mandatory bench trials that Congress first authorized for servicemembers starting in 2019: www.stevevladeck.com/p/114-histor...

114. History, Tradition, and the "Short-Martial"
From the Founding until 2018, servicemembers had a right to be tried by a panel of fellow servicemembers. A new cert. petition asks whether Congress violated due process when it took that right away.

A modest change to #SCOTUS's appellate jurisdiction over courts-martial goes into effect today. Previously, the justices could hear appeals only from cases that the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) heard. Going forward, the justices can also act when CAAF *denies* discretionary review.

Sometimes a case lends itself to a very straightforward QP; and sometimes, it … doesn’t.

Seeing media reports portraying yesterday's Fed Soc panel on "judicial independence" in disappointingly equivocal terms. I'm just going to post the full video here and let everyone's behavior speak for itself. I start @ 41:30; Judge Jones @ 50:23; replies @ 1:12:50: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DBl...

We've been doing a lot more cases at @ij.org against police officers who execute warrants on the wrong people and places. The mistakes are often inexcusable, and so are the insane theories courts have come up with for why the innocent victims can't recover any damages. I'll run through a few...

This week’s “One First” recaps a busy week at SCOTUS & looks ahead to another one before taking a deep dive into one of the Court’s more obscure—but important—authorities: the power to issue “original” writs of habeas corpus if no other review is available: stevevladeck.substack.com/p/68-origina...

68. "Original" Writs of Habeas Corpus
A new opinion by Justice Sotomayor highlights one of the Court's more obscure powers—and the serious constitutional question that could arise from the justices' unwillingness to ever use it.

If you are weirdly interested in the Fifth Circuit as an entity but also don’t have time to read every single published civil case, I present Raffi’s 2023 Fifth Circuit almanac drive.google.com/file/d/1kioUncwfzw…
