Taking Strickland Claims Seriously, Stephen F. Smith Jan 2009

Taking Strickland Claims Seriously, Stephen F. Smith

Marquette Law Review

Every criminal defendant is promised the right to the effective assistance of counsel. Whether at trial or on first appeal of right, due process is violated when attorney negligence undermines the fairness and reliability of judicial proceedings. That, at least, is the black-letter law articulated in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). In practice, however, the right to effective representation has meant surprisingly little over the last two decades. Under the standards that emerged from Strickland, scores of defendants have received prison or death sentences by virtue of serious unprofessional errors committed by their attorneys. This Essay canvasses a …


"You Can't Get There From Here?": Ineffective Assistance Claims In Federal Circuit Courts After Aedpa, Gregory J. O'Meara S.J. Jan 2009

"You Can't Get There From Here?": Ineffective Assistance Claims In Federal Circuit Courts After Aedpa, Gregory J. O'Meara S.J.

Marquette Law Review

One measure of a society is how it treats those with little power, those who have suffered from problems not of their own choosing. Surely victims of crime fit into this category, and society has not often given them what they desire and need. Though they garner far less sympathy, perpetrators of crime may also be vulnerable to forces beyond their control, including physical and mental disabilities, childhoods marked by abuse and neglect, and incompetent attorneys who fail to fulfill constitutionally mandated standards. The criminal justice system attempts to address deficiencies in the representation criminal defendants receive in part through …


Innocence Protection In The Appellate Process, Keith A. Findley Jan 2009

Innocence Protection In The Appellate Process, Keith A. Findley

Marquette Law Review

It is often said that truth “accurate sorting of the guilty from the innocent” is the primary objective of criminal trials. Among the important safeguards in our criminal justice system intended to ensure that the innocent are protected from wrongful conviction is the system of appeals and postconviction remedies. Recent empirical evidence based on DNA exoneration cases reveals, however, that the appellate process does not do a good job of recognizing or protecting innocence. Examination of known innocents “those proved innocent by postconviction DNA testing” shows that they have rarely obtained relief on appeal. Moreover, those individuals subsequently proved innocent …


Judicial Blindness To Eyewitness Misidentification, Sandra Guerra Thompson Jan 2009

Judicial Blindness To Eyewitness Misidentification, Sandra Guerra Thompson

Marquette Law Review

Many studies of exonerations find that erroneous eyewitness identifications play a part in over 75% of all wrongful convictions. These studies have led to numerous proposals for reform of police procedures, yet we see surprisingly little progress toward minimizing eyewitness-identification error, a major cause of failure in the criminal justice systems of this country. This Article presents the findings of an empirical study of recent case law in which defendants challenge the legality of the eyewitness identification procedures. The study involved a review of all cases within the calendar year ending in April 8, 2009 in which state appellate courts …


Context And Compliance: A Comparison Of State Supreme Courts And The Circuits, Sara C. Benesh, Wendy L. Martinek Jan 2009

Context And Compliance: A Comparison Of State Supreme Courts And The Circuits, Sara C. Benesh, Wendy L. Martinek

Marquette Law Review

A host of scholars have argued that decision making in lower courts is at least partially determined by decision making in the U.S. Supreme Court. In other words, Supreme Court jurisprudence in a given area influences the way that the lower courts decide similar cases. This may seem like an unremarkable assertion given the principle of stare decisis and the expectation that lower courts are bound by decisions made by higher courts. Nonetheless, there are intriguing evidentiary omissions with regard to what we know about compliance with Supreme Court precedent. In particular, despite the voluminous expenditures of scholarly time and …

Appellate Review Of Sentence Explanations: Learning From The Wisconsin And Federal Experiences, Michael M. O'Hear Jan 2009

Appellate Review Of Sentence Explanations: Learning From The Wisconsin And Federal Experiences, Michael M. O'Hear

Marquette Law Review

For at least half a century, reformers have urged American appellate courts to play a more active role in the sentencing process. Outside a small number of jurisdictions with binding sentencing guidelines, however, the appellate courts have generally failed to establish a meaningful role for themselves. The present article focuses on one particular function that appellate courts might usefully perform: that is, reviewing the adequacy of the explanations given by trial-court judges to justify their sentencing decisions. Such “explanation review” is conceptually distinct from substantive review of the sentence: the former asks whether the sentence has been adequately justified, while …
