(1/3) Great start to #CrimPro this week discussing the 6th Am. standard for effective assistance of counseling through the #AdnanSyed case. Syed was represented by #CristinaGutierrez who suffered from late stage MS, did not investigate an alibi witness, and ....
(2/3) did cross the state's cell tower expert. Yet, as students were shocked to learn, MD state appellate courts held that she nonetheless provided constitutionally acceptable representation.
(3/3) Great chance to encourage students to own their professional identity and work ethic because appellate courts won't catch their errors on the back end. And, chances are, someone's life is on the line. #LegalEd elle.com/culture/movies…

I’m starting a running thread on the prospects for further review (certiorari) of #AdnanSyed opinion by Maryland’s highest court (the Court of Appeals) /1/
Review is discretionary, if the Court of Appeals finds review is “desirable and in the public interest.” It’s a flexible standard. For mechanics, see this post: mdappblog.com/2018/03/29/adn… /2/
Generic stats for certiorari (or “cert”) grants would indicate long odds. But the odds are much higher in this case than generic stats suggest. /3/
