Part I begins with a discussion of these practical realities within the criminal justice system. Part II then examines the law of guilty pleas under the Fifth Amendment, including constitutional standards for valid pleas, and how current jurisprudence fails to account for the collateral consequences mentioned in Part I.

The Politics Of Botched Executions, Corinna Barrett Lain

Law Faculty Publications

Part III explores how state responses to botched executions (or the lack thereof) might …
