Latest Conference:
N/A
Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether a standardless clemency process, one that affords no
meaningful opportunity to be shown mercy, satisfies this Court's mandate in Ohio
Adult Parole Authority v. Woodard, 523 U.S. 272 (1998) (O'Connor, J., concurring), or
is merely the flip of a same sided coin reflecting "denied"?
2. Whether a clemency scheme preoccupied solely with the guilt of the
applicant provides the "fail safe in our criminal justice system" that this Court
championed in Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390 (1993), and Harbison v. Bell, 556 U.S.
