- Justices send case of death-row inmate back to lower courts, grant new First Step Act case
The Supreme Court sent a Florida death-row inmate's case back to lower courts and granted a new case involving the First Step Act. The case involves an inmate seeking transfer to a halfway house under the Act, with the Court to decide on the legal approach.
- Thomas unloads on Court for helping convicted murderer but ignoring 'law-abiding citizens'
Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito criticized the Supreme Court for vacating a lower court ruling in a Florida murder case over an 'inconsequential foot fault' that would not have changed the outcome. The Court ordered the Eleventh Circuit to reconsider a death row inmate's new trial request without DNA evidence, which Thomas argued was a technicality error, while ignoring cases on race, free speech, and military families.
