Supreme Court grants Maples new hearing in death row case
The Supreme Court, in a 7 to 2 decision, reversed lower courts and ordered a new for Maples but left his execution sentence intact. Justice Ginsburg faulted Alabama for using inexperienced, poorly paid lawyers while noting Maples was abandoned by Sullivan and Cromwell after notices were returned. Justices Scalia and Thomas dissented, arguing defendants should bear lawyers' mistakes.
