Statewide Impact The Supreme Court’s Capital Postconviction Proceedings Subcommittee has proposed a number of revisions to court rules that affect postconviction cases filed by death row inmates in trial courts. Some examples of the proposals submitted for this Court’s consideration: a new deadline of 180 days to file claims based on new evidence; specific direction that circuit chief judges begin monitoring capital postconviction cases as soon as the direct appeal is finished; a new requirement that all expert witnesses who testify must file written reports.
