Supreme Court to Hear Arguments in Banks v. Dretke

The Supreme Court will hear argu­ments in Banks v. Dretke on Monday, December 8, 2003. The Court will review the low­er court’s denial of relief despite evi­dence that Banks was poor­ly rep­re­sent­ed at his 1980 tri­al, that pros­e­cu­tors with­held key infor­ma­tion, and that tes­ti­mo­ny from two pros­e­cu­tion wit­ness­es was unre­li­able. For more infor­ma­tion about this case, please see DPIC’s Banks v. Dretke page.
