Brief for National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support of Appellants.

Judge Mark Bennett writes that trial court judges have failed to assist potential jurors in understanding and internalizing the meaning of the presumption of innocence. “Most potential jurors actually believe in the presumption of guilt and not the presumption of innocence,” he states. Unless judges dramatically improve their efforts to explain the presumption of innocence, he does not believe that every juror will be committed to giving the defendant the full benefit of the presumption.

Amicus Brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Support of Defendant-Appellant and Reversal

"Actual Innocence" May Trigger Release - Washington, DC (May 18, 1998) -- In a decision that could affect hundreds of prisoners across the country, the U.S. Supreme Court today decided that a 1995 case which defined "using or carrying" a firearm in relation to certain crimes may be retroactively applied. Even prisoners who pleaded guilty prior to the 1995 case, Bailey v. United States, should be allowed to show that they are actually innocent of the crime as now defined by the Court, the Chief Justice says in today's decision, Bousley v. United States.

"Actual Innocence" May Be Constitutional Ground For Appeal - Washington, DC (June 15, 1998) -- The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers applauds today's U.S. Supreme Court decision in Hohn v. United States, No. 96-8986, holding that the Court has jurisdiction to hear the a claim of actual innocence by a federal prisoner whose certificate of appeal of his post-conviction motion is denied in a federal appellate court.
