Recently, Chief Justice Peterson of the Georgia Supreme Court issued a concurrence suggesting a major change to Georgia’s appellate and post-conviction landscape: moving ineffective assistance of counsel claims to habeas petitions. A group of dedicated appellate/post-conviction practitioners has been working to address that proposal, including by developing some alternate solutions to the very real concerns voiced in the Sanders concurrence. Today, I testified at the second hearing of the Blue Ribbon Study Committee on Post-Conviction Litigation to put forth some of those proposals. We are all grateful for the time and interest of the Committee members and their commitment to making this process better, not worse.

We are quoted in this article about the Georgia Supreme Court’s decision to stop hearing most murder cases starting next year. To put it succinctly, we aren’t fans of this decision.

Back, back, back again—this time to argue about whether the government’s withholding of evidence means our client should get a new trial, or if Brady doesn’t mean anything anymore. Fingers crossed the Court will do the right thing!

Sydney was back at the Eleventh Circuit for another oral argument today. This time, we were on appeal #2 for this client, after we won the first appeal and he got a significantly lower sentence on remand. But we’re always up for the fight to do even better so we were back trying to get an even better outcome for him.

Had a great time teaching at Emory Law School’s Kessler-Eidson Program for Trial Techniques last week with this lovely group of people. 5 years of Trial Techniques in the books!

Sydney had maybe the best oral argument ever today. One judge said the case was easy (meaning we should win) and then recognized that Sydney has been doing this type of work a long time and knows what she’s doing.

And everyone—the three Eleventh Circuit judges, the prosecutor, and Sydney—were all women, which is not very common.
