- A random assortment of relists: prolonged detention, confessions of error, small juries, and new rules on habeas
The Supreme Court addressed multiple relisted cases, including a summary reversal in a death-row inmate's case due to improper post-trial DNA evidence consideration, granted review in a First Step Act habeas corpus case, and denied petitions in immigration detention and state tax disputes. Justice Thomas dissented in several cases, arguing over procedural and jurisdictional issues.
