Certiorari denied · December 12, 2022

Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.

Question presented

Did the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issue a decision in conflict with, and fail to properly apply and follow, binding legal precedent from the United States Supreme Court in Mitchell v. Wisconsin, ___ U.S. ___, 130 S.Ct. 2525 (2019) and in conflict with Mitchell’s application in other jurisdictions by finding that exigent circumstances did not exist to support a warrantless request by police of hospital personnel to test Defendant/motorist’s blood drawn from him while unconscious or stuporous and after Defendant drove and caused his vehicle to collide with a Train, which killed his paramour and seriously injured his infant daughter, and where there was probable cause to believe that Defendant did so while and due to being under the influence of marijuana?
