There is no great constitutional question to litigate here.

Deprivation of life without due process of law is a constitutional question, as set forth in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Now, you may opine that in this particular case, this particular woman has not been deprived of life without due process of law, but that's another issue entirely. That's pre-judging evidence you haven't seen.

No responsible federal judge would agree with you. They are required to withold judgement until the record has been developed. All you know, and all I know, is what we read in the newspapers, which is never good enough for me.

I've seen too many cases where federal courts have overturned state proceedings to believe that state proceedings are always valid.
