Supreme Court of the United States

Kevan Brumfield, Petitioner v. Burl Cain

June 18, 2015135 S. Ct. 2269

Summary

The Court held that the state court's rejection of Brumfield's Atkins claim was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(2). Brumfield was entitled to an evidentiary hearing because the record supported a finding of intellectual disability. Vacated and remanded.
