Earlier this year, it appeared #SCOTUS had granted a case raising this question—but turned out that question was NOT granted by the court.
We see tonight that Breyer, apparently, remains alone — at least in being willing to speak out on his view on this issue.
UPDATE: There was a SECOND cert petition filed in John Conner's Georgia case, out of the 11th Cir:pic.twitter.com/605zm7ZgAH
Georgia, unsurprisingly, also opposed this request, reframing the questions presented as:pic.twitter.com/kbUQ8wYwXN
Apologies for the confusion tonight. I had not realized there was a case pending at the 11th Circuit when the initial SCOTUS ruling came.
Usually, SCOTUS holds all petitions in a case if they expect multiple so that they can consider them/issue decisions together.
I have to imagine the court was wondering what was going on here if they issued the ruling out of GA before getting petition out of 11th.
#SCOTUS can rule when it wants, however, and it chose to rule on the one petition before receiving the second.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrismcdaniel/georgia-scheduled-to-end-nations-two-month-death-penalty-hia?utm_term=.ydW1wEVKNe#.vj0x7OPJZL …
