Today at the U.S. Supreme Court
Posted: November 5, 2008 1:46 pm
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments this morning in Van de Kamp v. Goldstein, a California case centering on whether chief prosecutors can be held accountable for administrative or systemic failures leading to wrongful convictions.
And on Monday, the justices will hear Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, another case critical to the rights of criminal defendants and the wrongfully convicted.
The Innocence Network filed friend-of-the-court briefs in both cases. Background on both cases and access to the Innocence Network’s briefs are here.
