One of the usual suspects, Rights Behind Bars, has filed an amicus brief in support of Brett Kimberlin’s petition for a writ of certiorari in his appeal of the Seventh Circuit’s denial of his attempt to use a writ of coram noibis to attack his Speedway Bomber convictions.
This brief notes there are differences among the federal circuits in how the writ of coram nobis is handled. The Supremes might take the case in order to settle the law among the circuits.
The government’s reply brief is due not later than 11 October.
Stay tuned.
IF the Supremes take this case to settle differences between the Circuits we’ll spend the rest of our lives hearing Brett say, “I won at the Supreme Court.”
Doesn’t matter that the court won’t be vacating everything. Doesn’t matter that Brett will still be a felon- Because he will be.
Brett is going to say, “I won.”
