2 sentences

2010According to Scott, the circuit court held Scott to the standard of pleading that the deficient performance "would have been likely to change the result" (Scott's brief at p. 37), rather than the standard in Strickland , 466 U.S. at 694 , "that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different." As Scott notes, the United States Supreme Court stated in Strickland : "[A] defendant need not show that counsel's deficient conduct more likely than not altered the outcome in the case.... "...

Ex Parte Land green

2010Scott challenges the circuit court's statement in its order denying his motion to reconsider the denial of his petition that "Scott was not entitled to any discovery." (C. 467.) Scott cites Ex parte Land , 775 So.2d 847 (Ala.2000), for the proposition that "[t]he right to seek discovery is not debatable." (Scott's brief at p. 14.) Although Scott is correct that a petitioner may seek discovery in postconviction proceedings, there is no absolute right to discovery.

2012She asserts: “While acknowledging Ex parte Waldrop, 859 So.2d 1181 (Ala.2002), Scott maintains that Ring invalidates critical aspects of Alabama’s capital sentencing scheme and renders her death sentence unconstitutional” (Scott’s brief at p. 123.), and that Waldrop “undermines the reliability of the capital sentencing process.” (Scott’s brief at p. 125.) Scott was convicted of capital murder for committing an intentional murder for pecuniary gain.

2005Although the circuit court's April 1, 2004, ruling on Scott's motion to reconsider was over six months after it had initially, on September 23, 2003, purported to grant Scott's Rule 32 petition by granting an out-of-time appeal, see, e.g., Loggins v. State, 910 So.2d 146 (Ala.Crim.App.2005) (a circuit court loses jurisdiction to modify a ruling on a Rule 32 petition 30 days after the ruling is entered), the circuit court had no jurisdiction to grant an out-of-time appeal to Scott, who had already had an appeal.
