Hope you don’t get an incompetent lawyer

Gotta keep that 13th Amendment loophole open, I guess.

Shinn v. Ramirez, & … it's bad. #SCOTUS holds that a federal court may not conduct an evidentiary hearing in proceedings to challenge a conviction if the evidence was not developed in state court because state post-conviction counsel was ineffective.https://t.co/Ixj6jDuQqX

(I titled this post “Hope you don’t get an incompetent lawyer” for catchiness, but I guess none of the people who’ll likely see this on social media will ever have to face this problem, so… problem solved, I guess! \o/ )
