Martin v. Johnson
Petition for certiorari denied on February 22, 2022
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit violated the backward-looking nature of Section 2254(d) of the Antiterrorism and
Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the clear
mandates announced by the Supreme Court in Sexton v.
Beaudreaux, Cullen v. Pinholster, and
Harrington v. Richter when
it considered — and based its ultimate decision upon —
an argument the respondent, Alonzo Cortez Johnson, never made to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on
direct appeal.
