In Re John L. McKenzie

IFP petition


Certiorari denied · June 28, 2021

Questions presented

  1. Whether Petitioner is illegally confined where confinement is due solely to the irrefutable fact that police fabricated the only evidence used to convict him, and the prosecutor presented false testimony at trial that resulted in conviction of an actually innocent person, creating a fundamental miscarriage of justice in violation of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution?

  2. Whether the 11th Circuits denial of leave to file a numerically second § 2254 denied access to the court and due process because it endorses a fundamental miscarriage of justice by requiring an actually innocent person to remain in prison where conviction rests solely on the false evidence and perjured testimony?
