Whether the abuse of the writ doctrine or the AEDPA precludes a successive petition for post-conviction relief

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the abuse of the writ doctrine or the AEDPA precludes a successive petition for postconviction relief when the government, years after a defendant’s conviction, amends its criminal charges to keep him convicted of a completely different crime than what he originally pleaded guilty to? 2. Whether plea bargaining criminal defendants deserve the same degree of protection under contract law as civil litigants who are parties to commercial contracts?
