These are the cases the Supreme Court will be hearing the first week of October. Nothing stands out to me. Do any of you nerds see any significance as to why the Demons want to delay for a week.
>Madison v. Alabama
cop killer, death penalty case
In April 1985, Vernon Madison shot and killed Mobile police officer Cpl. Julius Schulte during a domestic disturbance call. Madison was convicted of murder and sentenced to death three times—1985, 1990, and 1994. The first two convictions were overturned on appeal. At his final conviction, the judge overuled the jury's recommendation of a life sentence and issued a death sentence.[4]
Madison was scheduled for execution in May 2016, but at a competency hearing earlier that year he claimed that he could no longer remember the crime he committed or even that he was on death row after suffering a number of strokes that impacted his mental capacity. A court-appointed psychologist said that while Madison had "significant body and cognitive decline as a result of strokes," he understood what he was convicted of and the proposed punishment. The state attorney general argued that understanding was enough to allow for execution. The court agreed, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued a stay pending an appeal.[5] In a deadlocked ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the appellate court's stay of execution.[4] In November 2017, the Eleventh Circuit ruled in favor of Madison, finding he was incompetent to be executed. The Supreme Court overturned that decision the same month, which cleared him for execution.[6]
Madison's execution was scheduled for January 25, 2018. A hearing before the Alabama 13th Circuit Court on January 16 denied a request to stay the execution. In its ruling, the court said that "[t]he Defendant did not provide a substantial threshold showing of insanity, a requirement set out by the United States Supreme Court, sufficient to convince this Court to stay the execution."[3] Madison filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court on January 18, and the court issued a stay of execution on January pending the outcome of the appeal on January 25. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch voted to deny the stay. The court agreed to hear the case on February 26
