Twice again, a circuit divisible by three has gotten a capital case back from the Supreme Court only to overturn the death penalty again, followed by a new certiorari petition from the state.  Such petitions have a high grant and reversal rate.  Both are from Pennsylvania this time.

Wetzel v. Kindler:  USCA3 opinion here.  Docket 11-48 here.
Wetzel v. Abu-Jamal:  USCA3 opinion here.  Docket 11-49 here.

Does CJLF have access to the cert. petitions?
