Firm Files Amicus Brief For NAPD And MACDL In Support Of Petitioner Carlos Guardado

Today, Daniel Woofter filed the Brief of the National Association for Public Defense and Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amici Curiae in Support of Petitioner in Guardado v. Massachusetts, No. 23-886 (U.S.), urging the Supreme Court to grant review of a question dividing the federal courts of appeals and state supreme courts—whether there is an exception to the Court’s double jeopardy jurisprudence that gives the prosecution a second trial in which to supply missing evidence when there was a change in the law after the first proceeding was complete.
