It appears that Browning is the only criminal case in next week's oral arguments. The primary issue presented is whether the State is entitled to present evidence during a second penalty phase trial, which was presented at the guilt phase of the original trial, if that evidence was proven to be false during post-conviction proceedings and whether the defendant can be precluded from introducing evidence to establish the falsity of the State's evidence. The State frames this as a matter of residual doubt while the defendant (for whom I am counsel) presents this as a matter of whether the State is permitted to knowingly orchestrate the presentation of false evidence to a jury.
