Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether petitioner can pass through the gateway to argue merits of underlying claims

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether it can be presumed given the facts underlined in Schilup v Delo 513 US 298; 115 SC 851 (1995), Holland v Florida 560 US 631; 130 SC 2549 (2010), and McQuiggin v Pekins 569 US 383; 133 SC 1924 (2013) all stating that if a petitioner presents evidence of innocence so strong that a court cannot have confidence in the outcome of the trial that was free of non-harmless constitutional error, should the petitioner be allowed to pass through the gateway and argue the merits of his underlying claims in the lower state and federal courts? . Likewise, when innocence is so strong to lack confidence in the trial proceedings it shouldn't take decades for a prisoner to pass through the gateway to prove his or her innocence in the lower courts! . 1 Leahy TABLE OF CONTENT
