The U.S. Supreme Court declined Tuesday to review the case of an Alabama man who has spent decades in prison for a murder conviction supported by recanted and discredited testimony about bite marks.
Another unsurprising decision by SCOTUS.
Most forensic “science” is bullshit. Bite mark “evidence” is amongst the worst.
I assume polygraph results will be legalized soon.
Trump bite marks are an official act.
This just in: conservative justice will use divination to catch the perpetrator.
Highlights where the
USSCSCOTUS priorities are pretty well I’d say, so much for justice.Just a minor nitpick: the acronym is SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States), like POTUS.
I’ve seen both used commonly but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fixed
I’ve seen USSC used like one other time and it was weird. It makes me think of USMC.
USSC? Union of Soviet Socialist Catboys?
They keep trying to seize the means of production and poop in the sandbox, smh my head.
Pretty sure that these ones prefer the memes of reproduction tbh…
Close enough.
This had to exist on Tumblr at some point
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a statement that the case raises “difficult questions about the adequacy of current postconviction remedies to correct a conviction secured by what we now know was faulty science.”
At least Sotomayor had the decency to comment with a denial, but the rationale is confusing
the constitutional question raised by McCrory has not “percolated sufficiently in the lower courts.” But she urged state and federal lawmakers to establish paths for inmates to challenge “wrongful convictions that rest on repudiated forensic testimony.”
It’s a judicial issue, dealing with evidentiary criteria within courtrooms. How much more ‘in your lane’ does it have to be? If it was challenged to SCotUS on appeal, surely that has “percolated sufficiently in the lower courts.” no?
This is just a bullshit ruling. Direct the lower courts to fix it and claim it is a 14th Amendment issue. It is not as if this court gives a fuck what the Amendments actually say, anyway. My suggestion would be a more accurate interpretation of the Constitution than most of the shit they have been legislating from the bench.
Rotten to the core, this country is. Tax protest, now.
“Gee, gooly I sure do wish the DoJ would stop bringing firvelous charges against the american people.” - Biden, probably.
Its kinda hard to do that, the tax man gets the money first, the tax info we turn in is to claw a little of it back.
Not a CPA, but if you really had no regard for consequences should the tax strike fail, couldn’t you just increase your claim # to minimize how much is taken out each paycheck and then the strike would happen during tax season when no one (in this hypothetical) pays the IRS what’s owed?
Probably?
tax protest
Yeah give the money directly to the big companies instead. That’s much better.
Thanks, but I’d rather not end up like Wesley Snipes.
