Cruz v. Arizona

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 22, 2023, opinion in Cruz v. Arizona.

Summary:  Criminal defendant found guilty of capital murder argued that he should have been allowed to inform the jury that, under Arizona law, a life sentence would be without parole.  SCOTUS reversed and remanded, holding that the Arizona Supreme Court's determination that a state rule of criminal procedure prevented post-conviction relief was not a valid and separate state-law basis for the judgment against the defendant sufficient to foreclose a federal claim.
