INTRODUCTION The procedural history surrounding Beach’s case is epochal, involving proceedings in the Montana Supreme Court, federal district court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole (the Board). Many of the postconviction claims he now raises in this Court were previously raised in one form or the other in the Montana Supreme Court, Federal Courts, and most recently before the Board during his clemency proceeding. As demonstrated below, the Montana Supreme Court, the Federal Courts and the Board have unifiedly rejected Beach’s claims, including his claim that he is actually innocent of the Nees homicide. As the procedural MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS BARRY ALLEN BEACH’S PETITION FOR POSTCONVICTION RELIEF PAGE 1 history below reflects, Beach has been afforded every avenue to prove he should not be held accountable for the brutal murder of Kim Nees, and Beach has soundly failed at every juncture.

  • The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats by Jennifer M
    GOVERNORS The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle Only three governors were elected in 2015. Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi are the only states that hold their gubernatorial elections during the year prior to the presidential election. This means that these three states can be early indicators of any voter unrest that might unleash itself more broadly in the next year’s congressional and presidential elections, and we saw some of this in the two races where candidates were vying for open seats. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) was elected to a second term, running in a state that strongly favored his political party. Both Kentucky and Louisiana have elected Democrats and Republicans to the governorship in recent years, and each race was seen as up for grabs by many political pundits. In the end, each election resulted in the governorship turning over to the other political party. Though Tea Party sentiments played a signifi- he lost badly to McConnell, he had name recog- cant role in the primary elections in Kentucky and nition when he entered the gubernatorial race as Louisiana, none of the general elections reflected an anti-establishment candidate who ran an out- the vigor that the Tea Party displayed in the 2014 sider’s campaign against two Republicans who had gubernatorial elections. With only two open races held elected office. Bevin funded the vast majority and one safe incumbent on the ballot, the 2015 of his primary spending himself, contributing more elections were generally not characterized as a than $2.4 million to his own campaign.

  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly
    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections. (For descriptions of these earlier campaigns and analyses of recent Alabama politics see Cotter 1991; Cotter 2002; Ellington 1999; Cotter and Gordon 1999 and Stanley 2003).

  • By Email Only April 28, 2020 the Honorable Charles T. Canady Chief
    By email only April 28, 2020 The Honorable Charles T. Canady Chief Justice The Supreme Court of Florida Dear Chief Justice Canady: We write today to ask you to issue guidance to the courts addressing the fines, fees, and court costs imposed in criminal, delinquency, and non criminal traffic cases. The impacts of COVID-19 public health crisis are, and will continue to be, unprecedented. As you commented in your March 24th video address, “The pandemic is now affecting everyone. We are living our lives in a ​ way that none of us would have contemplated a few short weeks ago. And none of us can count on things getting easier any time soon.” We agree - both short and long term solutions are ​ needed. There is an urgent need for guidance to the courts specifically relating to the financial implications of COVID-19 on those who owe court fines, fees, and costs. We know that families who were already struggling will be hit the hardest by the layoffs, wage cuts, and health issues stemming from the pandemic. They had difficulty paying fines and fees before the COVID-19 crisis, and their limited financial resources are now even more depleted. But they are not alone. Millions of Floridians are out of work and unable to meet their basic expenses. Mitigating the effects of COVID-19 is a high priority in the Florida State Courts System and addressing fines and fees must be included as part of the mitigation efforts. Given the current State of Emergency and the deepening economic impacts of the public health crisis in the state, including the substantial

United States, 500 U.S. 257, 273 (1991), a connection between a campaign contribution and an official action is a crime "only if the payments are made in return for an explicit promise or undertaking by the official to perform or not to perform an official act. In such situations the official asserts that his official conduct will be con- trolled by the terms of the promise or undertaking." Does this standard require proof of an "explicit" quid pro quo promise or undertaking in the sense of actually being communicated expressly, as various Circuits have stated; or can there be a conviction based instead only on the inference that there was an unstated and implied agreement, a state of mind, connecting the contribution and an official action? 2.

    Points from the Sworn On-the-Record Interview of Dana Jill Simpson by the House Judiciary Committee Staff 1. Ms. Simpson stated under oath that she adheres to and stands by the statements in her May 21, 2007, affidavit. (Pages 85-86) She testified: “What I understood, or what I believed Mr. Canary to be saying, was that he had had this ongoing conversation with Karl Rove about Don Siegelman, and that Don Siegelman was a thorn to them and basically he was going to – he had been talking with Rove. Rove had been talking with the Justice Department, and they were pursuing Don Siegelman as a result of Rove talking to the Justice Department at the request of Bill Canary.” (27) 2. Ms. Simpson described a 2005 conversation with Rob Riley in which Mr. Riley stated that, in late 2004, Karl Rove had contacted the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice to press for further prosecution of Don Siegelman, and had also stated that the case would be assigned to a federal judge who “hated” Mr. Siegelman and who would “hang Don Siegelman.” (50-57) According to Ms. Simpson, Mr. Riley stated: ? that the case against Don Siegelman in the Northern District had been “miserably messed up” by United States Attorney Alice Martin and had been dismissed by a federal Judge in 2004 (48-50); ? that, with that case out of the way, Mr. Siegelman was “the biggest threat” to Governor Bob Riley – Rob Riley’s father – in the coming 2006 Governor’s race (48); ? that, in late 2004, Bill Canary and Governor Riley had spoken to Karl Rove about Mr.
