          Note: There's a lot in here that's ~NOT~ going to stand up on appeal. It's clear Judge Todd has a LOT of dissatisfaction with the system ...

          HOWEVER, the ~key~ finding here is that Hurst v. FL applies to AL, and that, as such, its death sentencing scheme is unconstitutional.

          And THAT is a ruling likely to stand up to scrutiny (if not on appeal within the AL courts). Read my report here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/alabama-death-penalty-law-is-unconstitutional-state-judge-ru#.mndobXJ40d …

          @chrisgeidner @5thCircAppeals That opinion is scathing. For an elected judge, she just dropped bombs.
