Darius Wayne Haws v. Idaho
Paid petition · Supreme Court of Idaho, No. 47800 · judgment September 9, 2020
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before and a circuit split argued in the petition, and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Whether a criminal defendant’s purported waiver of the right to appeal in a plea agreement is knowing, intelligent, and voluntary—as required by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments—when the trial court incorrectly informs the defendant, during the colloquy in which the court accepts the defendant’s guilty plea, that the defendant has reserved the right to appeal.
