State Correctional Institution at Fayette, et al. v. Jerry Reeves

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 17-1043 · judgment July 25, 2018

Certiorari denied · June 17, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 10% cert probability (95% interval 6%–15%)

Before the decision, about 2.4× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Third Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Question presented

Whether evidence that was available but not presented at trial satisfies the new evidence requirement of the actual innocence exception which permits review of untimely Habeas Corpus petitions?
