Jenkins v. Hutton
| Docket No. | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16-1116 | Not Argued | Jun 19, 2017 | n/a | Per Curiam | OT 2016 |
Holding: On the facts of this case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit was wrong to hold that it could review Percy Hutton's claim -- that the trial court violated his due process rights during the penalty phase of his trial -- under the miscarriage-of-justice exception to procedural default.
Judgment: Reversed and remanded in a per curiam opinion on June 19, 2017.
