Supreme Court of the United States

King v. Emmons

July 2, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari in King v. Emmons. Justice Jackson, joined by Justice Sotomayor, dissented, arguing that the Eleventh Circuit improperly applied AEDPA deference to the Georgia Supreme Court’s factual findings on a Batson claim involving racially discriminatory peremptory strikes.
