Also the Critical Criminology home page for discussions about the death penalty, prisons, punishment, and wrongful executions, or Prof. David's Death Penalty Resources; Process: Appeals begin automatically in State Appeals Courts, and are limited to evidentiary issues that came up during trial. Most State Appeals Courts affirm convictions and State Supreme Courts usually decline to review. Next, the inmate files a state habeas corpus lawsuit in a State Appeals Court, this time raising issues that did not come up during trial, such as newly discovered evidence or charges of prosecutorial misconduct. If the Appeals Court declines to hear this, the inmate looks again to the State Supreme Court, who usually decline to review. Next, comes the federal habeas corpus stage, beginning in a local U.S. District Court, where all the issues are reargued, evidentiary and habeas corpus. If a federal judge rejects the arguments, the inmate turns to the nearest U.S. Court of Appeals, and if no relief is obtained there, a petition is filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking to be heard, and these Justices only accept a small fraction of cases, only those involving constitutional law principles, but last-minute temporary reprieves (or stays of execution) are common while Justices are considering; See Cornell Law School Death Penalty Project.

The spectator sold the videotape to a TV station, which aired it and shocked the nation. The officers went to trial, and were found not guilty, which led to major rioting in LA and a recuperating Rodney King appearing on TV saying "Can't We All Just Get Along". A retrial resulted in convictions of five of the officers involved, and the Christopher commission probe recommended changes in the police culture. Police Suicide -- an online scholarly article.
