State Post-Conviction Review and State Courts After Your Initial Trial and Appeal
The question is specifically about state post-conviction review review and state courts after your initial trial and appeals. The question here arises from Arizona's refusal to apply the Supreme Court's decision in Simmons which said that in death penalty cases you have to tell the jury if the defendant isn't going to be eligible for parole if the jury rejects the death penalty. After years of flouting Simmons the Supreme Court in a 2016 percureum decision lynched versus Arizona was like no really our decision in Simmons applies in Arizona.
