Pretty sure it is for now. I believe the show ended in May so more to come I would assume.
From a general viewpoint, it's a fascinating look into all the legal processes of our judicial system. No matter what side of the fence you are on, unless you are a legal scholar, you learned from this series. Top notch in its detail.
I think the biggest take away is the crap that AEDPA created in the ability of federal courts to overturn state rulings...
There are in fact simple steps to clear the names of Hillegas, Bloedern, Tadych and Bobby Dassey. Submit to testing their dna (AND fingerprints)and offer to talk with Zellner. Innocent people have 0 to fear of tests or sworn statements.
Definitely, I didn’t mean to advocate for talking without a lawyer present.
The emergency motions and such really opened my eyes. Not only can you file a petition, you can file another "emergency" petition on top of that. It's like double-secret probation type stuff. Forgive me for my ignorance here, but isn't one petition (with possible future amendments, not saying another separate petition) enough?
I took a class on post conviction relief in law school. AEDPA is meant to protect the process, not the individual. It's Congress' reaction to death penalty consists filing stuff non-stop.
Yeah but the problem was they applied the same standard to every case not just death penalty cases which is why it is awful.
I am all for protecting the process and not delaying the execution (even if I am against the Death Penalty) but not any other way it is applied. It isn't protecting the process it is protecting the conviction.
quick thoughts
- Wisconsin will never concede even though it appears LE in other states are beginning to take notice and ask ***? It’s incredible to witness this as a resident. Andy Colburn hired a PR firm a few years back to refute MAM...I guess talk radio blowhard Dan O’Donnel is part of that.
- you can’t defeat science so something has to give, with so much science/forensics and sworn statements on her side and judge Sutkiewicz acknowledging maybe 30% of the filings, will the luminol tests be the break in the dam or will Schimel and the courts just ignore or Deny that as well?
- anyone know if the FBI can investigate Bobby now based on Zellner’s discovery of the cd?
If they are out of ways to appeal/number of times to appeal, it could be over with.
The cd....I suppose it depends on if the images were of people underage. If they are 18+, and pics were photoshopped, had consenting adults in the torture porn biz, or were acquired from legit news sources/Freedom Of Information Act (public records), that may be a different story.
