Today's Arguments

The Court hears two criminal cases today. The first, Pizzuto v. State, is an appeal from the summary dismissal of a successive petition for post-conviction relief in a capital case. The petition's substantive claims include a Brady violation and the violation of the right to an impartial judge. The second case is State v. Rawley, where the Court of Appeals found that several errors, including prosecutorial misconduct, had occurred at trial but affirmed the conviction anyway finding the errors to be harmless.
