The U.S. Supreme Court held a conference Friday, resulting in a short orders list<\/a> the same day and a longer one<\/a> today. Some criminal cases were taken up, but no blockbuster ones.<\/p>\n

Among cases we are following, the Marathon Bomber Case<\/a> was relisted for this coming Friday, as expected. A grant on the second listing is a good possibility for this high-profile case.<\/p>\n

In Poole<\/em> v. Florida<\/em><\/a>, the Court turned down a request to say that it didn’t really mean what it said in McKinney<\/em> v. Arizona<\/em> (see this post<\/a>), i.e., that the Sixth Amendment has nothing to say about whether the weighing of the aggravating versus mitigating circumstances in capital cases, and hence the sentencing decision, must be done by a jury or a judge. Yes, it really did mean that.<\/p>\n

The Court has taken up the following cases:<\/p>\n

Greer<\/em> v. United States<\/em>, No. 19-8709, on the plain-error standard for reviewing claims that the defendant did not make in the trial court in the case of an intervening change in the law by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

United States<\/em> v. Palomar-Santiago<\/em>, No. 20-437, a “crimmigration” case involving reentry following deportation and a challenge to the conviction on which the alien was originally deported.<\/p>\n

United States<\/em> v. Gary<\/em>, No. 20-444, another case on the plain-error standard. Defendant pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a felon, but the judge did not advise him that knowing he was a felon at the time was an element of the offense.<\/p>\n

Terry<\/em> v. United States<\/em>, No. 20-5904, involving sentence reductions under the First Step Act and defendants convicted of crack cocaine offenses before the 2010 reduction of the 100-to-1 crack-powder ratio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
