McCrory v. Alabama

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by Charles McCrory, who challenges his 1985 murder conviction based on bitemark testimony now discredited by the scientific community. The Court explained that the constitutional due‑process question raised has not yet percolated through the lower courts sufficiently to merit review. It suggested that legislatures, not the Court, are better positioned to address wrongful convictions stemming from repudiated forensic evidence.
