Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a capital habeas matter, a denial of petitioner's habeas petition is reversed where the state sought to retry petitioner and seek the death penalty following a mistrial, but there was no manifest necessity for the trial court to have declared a mistrial without first polling the jury in order to determine whether petitioner had been acquitted of the death penalty.
