Unfortunately, the Coulter vision goes a little higher up. Where the Court is headed on claims of innocence is not at all clear. In January of 1993, in Herrera v. Collins, Rehnquist bemoaned "the very disruptive effect that entertaining claims of actual innocence would have on the need for finality in death penalty cases" and dismissed the argument that "claims of actual innocence based on newly discovered evidence" provide a rationale for habeas relief. (from theatlantic.com ) Indeed. We wouldn't want any sand to get in the works of the well-oiled machine. Cheers, Dan.
