This is a death penalty case, where the officials of Oklahoma now oppose the execution — due to clear prosecutorial misconduct at trial, that the state itself concedes was likely “outcome determinative”.
The only forces aligned against granting a new trial here are — yep, you guessed it! — Thomas, Alito and probably Kavanaugh.
The three think that even when we get it wrong — “finality” (that is, killing a human, promptly) is more important than actual innocence. Than… restorative… justice.
So the other six seek ever more amicus briefs today, to try to convince the three… that their views are deeply… flawed.
Do stay tuned.
