Justin M. Corliss v. Tom McGinley, Superintendent, State Correctional Institution at Coal Township, et al.

Whether the applications for certificates of appealability were improperly denied when the issues presented plainly meet the standards articulated by this Court, in Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 2000, as fairminded jurists would debate whether Petitioner's conviction did not come about through: (1) the unauthorized revival of time-barred charges that violates ex post facto prohibitions, (2) a constructively amended jury instruction that resulted in violent felony convictions based on misdemeanor conduct, and (3) the prosecution's knowing use of false testimony and deliberate omission of facts that conflict with the testimony proffered.
