What is the Significance of an Attorney General’s Confession of Error in a State Capital Case?

Two other amicus briefs were filed yesterday, both supporting Glossip’s petition. A brief filed by law professors Nora Freeman Engstrom et al. argues that the Court should review the issue of a prosecutor’s obligations in connection with correcting false testimony at trial. A brief filed by the Innocence Project argues that the OCCA failed to properly defer to the opinion of the Oklahoma Attorney General about this case.
