Jennings v. Stephens - Oral Arguments in the Supreme Court

SCOTUSblog posts, "Argument preview: What can a federal habeas petitioner argue when defending a judgment in his favor?"  It's by Rory Little, rofessor of Law at UC Hastings College of the Law.  Here's the beginning:

This is a death penalty case from the Texas state courts, coming to the Supreme Court after a federal district court granted federal habeas relief but the Fifth Circuit reversed. Jennings, with a record of prior robberies, shot and killed a Houston police officer while robbing a store. His guilt is not at issue; the case challenges only his sentence.

The SCOTUSblog case file for Jennings v. Stephens is at the link.  It will be argued tomorrow at the Court.
