There are only two published opinions from the Ninth Circuit this morning. Both involve federal habeas petitions, one from a guy named Nitcheke and the other from a guy named Fenenbock.
Both involve someone convicted of killing someone else. Both involve claims that the trial court (and the state appellate courts) erred. Both panels consist of a majority of judges appointed by presidents who were Democrats.
The Ninth Circuit affirms the dismissal of both habeas claims. Unanimously.
Those crazy liberals on the Ninth Circuit.
