Is it a Fourth Amendment search if police officers touch the hood and/or wheel well of a car to determine if it had been recently driven? utcourts.gov/opinions/supop…

Eleventh Circuit grants qualified immunity to prison officer who left inmate w/broken bone and partially-severed tendon in a cell that was 3 feet from medical examination room for several hours: media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/f… Image
In finding that the officer didn't violate a clearly established right, the court found that the inmate was *only* "'leaking' an indeterminate amount of blood 'all over' and leaving a 'path of blood.'"
The court thus contrasted his case from a prior case in which it denied qualified immunity when an officer failed to get care for an inmate whose blood soaked his clothing & pooled on the floor.

My @UofSCLaw students @ac_parham/@JasCaruthers & I have been researching no-knock warrant data for the Breonna Taylor case. Some preliminary findings #thread cc: @ACLUofKY @louisvillemayor @GovAndyBeshear @djaycameron
The @denverpost reviewed no-knock warrant requests for a 1-year period from 1999-2000. 167 no-knock warrants were requested. 162 were approved and only *5* were denied (3% denial rate).
More than 82% of the no-knock raids targeted minority residents (race of the target wasn't specified in 3% of cases). At the time, Denver's population was 56% Caucasian.

Ronnie Long can prove his innocence today after *44 years* of wrongful conviction. I will be live tweeting about oral arguments, which you can livestream here at 9:00am EST:
Long is claiming Brady violations based upon forensic evidence that has been withheld for decades such as a suspect hair from the crime scene that was not a match for him & dozens of fingerprints which also weren't a match.
The only evidence against him was a highly suggestive, in-court, cross-racial identification by the witness, who was wearing a disguise.

Potentially HUGE news for Adnan Syed. Court of Special Appeals of Maryland orders the circuit court to issue a writ of actual innocence in the James Kulbicki case: courts.state.md.us/sites/default/…
Kulbicki's case, you might recall, is the main (only?) case that the State/Thiru Vignarajah used to argue against Adnan's cell tower claim.
In Kulbicki, the Court of Appeals of Maryland granted Kulbicki a new trial, finding that his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to question the State's experts about flaws w/Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis.

Oral arguments starting in the Joey Watkins case. I will live tweet in this thread: gasupreme.us/live/
Joey's attorney argues cell tower evidence shows he couldn't have gotten to the crime scene in time for the murder.
Notes how juror ignored the instruction not to do a drive test, which a juror did...leading to change from not guilty to guilty.

Dear @Undisclosedpod listeners (and anyone else interested): You can stream the Supreme Court of Georgia oral arguments in the Joey Watkins case on Wednesday, November 6th here: gasupreme.us/watch/
@Undisclosedpod Oral arguments start that day at 10:00am EST, and his case is the second one on the docket.
@Undisclosedpod The primary issue is whether Watkins's attorneys should have contacted the jurors in the case before @TheViewFromLL2 talked to a juror who admitted to improperly doing a drive test to determine whether Joey could have been the killer.
