  • Chapter 13: Federal Habeas Corpus
    CHAPTER 13 FEDERAL HABEAS CORPUS*1 A. Introduction This Chapter explains an important right—the writ of habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is guaranteed by the Constitution to incarcerated people in federal custody whose arrest, trial, or actual sentence violated a federal statute, treaty, or the U.S. Constitution. Because the Constitution is the only federal law that governs state criminal procedures, if you are incarcerated in state custody, you must show a violation of the U.S. Constitution for your habeas petition to succeed. As an incarcerated person (regardless of whether you are in state or federal prison), you can challenge your conviction or sentence by petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus in federal court. By petitioning for a writ, you are asking the court to determine whether your conviction or sentence is illegal. A writ of habeas corpus can be very powerful because if the court accepts your argument, the court can order your immediate release, a new trial, or a new sentencing hearing. This Chapter will teach you more about federal habeas corpus and how to petition for it. Part A will introduce and explain a few basic concepts about federal habeas. The rest of the Chapter will go into more detail. Please note that the term, “federal habeas corpus,” refers to habeas corpus in a federal court. Though subject to different rules, incarcerated people in both state or federal custody may petition for a federal writ of habeas corpus. What Is Habeas Corpus? Habeas corpus is a kind of petition that you can file in federal court to claim that your imprisonment violates federal law.2 The term “federal law” includes not only federal statutes, but also U.S.

JIM NEIL, : Respondent. : Original Action in Habeas Corpus Judgment of Court: Petition Denied Date of Judgment Entry: September 9, 2020 L. Patrick Mulligan & Associates, LLC, and Brandon A. Moermond, for petitioner Geoffrey Drew. Joseph T. Deters, Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney, and Alex S. Havlin, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for Respondent State of Ohio ex rel. Jim Neil, OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS BERGERON, Judge. {¶1} Indicted on nine counts of rape in August 2019 for conduct occurring decades ago, petitioner Geoffrey Drew challenged the staggering $5,000,000 bail set by the trial court at arraignment. He first requested that the trial court reduce the amount of the bail, but to no avail—the court denied his motion. This ultimately prompted Mr. Drew to seek relief from this court through the mechanism of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus claiming excessive bail. The state, on behalf of respondent Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil, requested that we deny the petition, maintaining that the trial court acted within its discretion, and highlighting Mr. Drew’s failure to meet his burden in order to establish entitlement to relief. Based on the record at hand, we agree with the state and deny the writ. {¶2} In Ohio, appellate courts enjoy original jurisdiction over writs of habeas corpus and are empowered with the authority to grant such relief.

  • Litigating Federal Habeas Corpus Cases: One Equitable Gateway at a Time Eve Brensike Primus*
    Issue Brief July 2018 Litigating Federal Habeas Corpus Cases: One Equitable Gateway at a Time Eve Brensike Primus* The Supreme Court has described the writ of habeas corpus as “a bulwark against convictions that violate fundamental fairness”1 and as “the judicial method of lifting undue restraints upon personal liberty.”2 Unfortunately, obtaining federal habeas corpus relief has become close to impossible for many prisoners. The vast majority of habeas petitions are post-conviction petitions filed by state prisoners. Congress and the Supreme Court have erected a complicated maze of procedural obstacles that state prisoners must navigate, often without the assistance of counsel, to have their constitutional claims considered in federal court. One wrong procedural step means the prisoner’s claims are thrown out of federal court altogether. In fact, federal judges now dismiss a majority of state prisoners’ habeas claims on procedural grounds.3 The rare state prisoner who successfully manages to run this procedural gauntlet faces a merits review process that has become so deferential to the state that relief remains virtually unattainable. In the extremely rare case where a federal court grants relief, the judgment often comes years after a person has been wrongly imprisoned. At that point, the case has often been forgotten and the state actors responsible for the underlying constitutional violation have often changed jobs. As a result, the federal decision effectively has no deterrent value. One empirical study revealed that only 0.29% of non-capital state prisoners obtain any form of federal habeas relief.4 That number is troubling in light of evidence that states systematically violate criminal defendants’ constitutional rights5 and data documenting large numbers of * Many thanks to Leah Litman for her feedback.
