Deshawn Lee Campbell v. Dao Vang, Acting Warden

I. Whether AEDPA deference defeats an obvious Napue claim despite this Court’s holding in Glossip v. Oklahoma, 604 U.S. 226 (2025). II. Given that “AEDPA . . . deference does not mean abdication,” whether AEDPA deference was a proper basis to condone racist appeals to “that thirteenth juror, prejudice” despite this Court’s “unceasing efforts” to eradicate exactly that. III. Whether federal courts err in denying a certificate of appealability for a Confrontation Clause / Crawford claim where the state introduced a plethora of out-of-court, testimonial, self-exculpating statements from an alternate suspect and the state’s justification for circumventing Crawford was transparently pretextual.
