Cruz V. Arizona
''Cruz v. Arizona'', 598 U.S. 17 (2023), was a United States Supreme Court case related to habeas corpus. Background In 2003, John Montenegro Cruz shot and killed Tucson, Arizona police officer Patrick Hardesty. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in state court in 2005. In the penalty phase of the trial, Cruz was unable to inform the jury that Arizona had previously abolished parole for felons, so he would either be sentenced to life in prison without parole, or death, nullifying the state's evidence of any future danger he posed to the public. This procedural protection was recognized in the 1994 '' Simmons v. South Carolina'' decision. On appeal, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld Cruz's conviction, and rejected his argument that his trial violated ''Simmons''. His first state petition for post-conviction relief was denied, as was his federal habeas corpus petition. In 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected the Arizona Supreme Court's ...

Supreme Court Of The United States
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. It has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all U.S. federal court cases, and over state court cases that involve a point of federal law. It also has original jurisdiction over a narrow range of cases, specifically "all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party." The court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction. The court may decide cases having political overtones, but has ruled that it does not have power to decide non-justiciable political questions. Established by Article Three of the United States ...

2023 In United States Case Law
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
