Donald G. Karr, Jr. v. Mark R. Sevier, Warden
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 21-2463 · judgment March 30, 2022
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Davis-Hatton Procedure is unconstitutional as-applied to Mr. Karr’s case and whether the Indiana State Courts and United States District Court For The Southern District of Indiana erred in denying Mr. Karr Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment’s guaranteed right to counsel and due process. Whether the appellate attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel by initiating a Davis Petition. Whether the United States District Court For The Southern District of Indiana erred in not holding ineffective assistance of counsel when Petitioner’s counsel objectively failed, with that failure’s impact a disproportionately positive multiplier effect forgone, when the standard of review is not about whether there would be a different verdict with the evidence, but whether in its absence he received a fair trial. Whether the United States District Court For The Southern District of Indiana erred in not holding ineffective of counsel from an accumulation or errors.
