Got a bad lawyer? Tough luck, Supreme Court says

Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description

Two men in Arizona had trials, were found guilty in state court, appealed, ultimately lost again, and landed on death row. But after each of their cases underwent a post-conviction review, things got interesting and escalated all the way to federal court. Dr. Jules Epstein, Professor of Law and the Director of Advocacy Programs at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, offers his take on a recent 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court rejecting the prisoners’ claims that they received improper counsel from their lawyers. He also explains how this decision could affect the rights of prisoners, and what the Supreme Court revealed through its ruling.
