Abdool v. Bondi
Annotate this Case
Petitioners, inmates under a sentence of death, challenged the facial validity of four provisions of the Timely Justice Act of 2013, which was enacted to “reduce delays in capital cases and to ensure that all appeals and postconviction actions in capital cases are resolved as soon as possible after the date a sentence of death is imposed in the circuit court.” The disputed portions of the Act were the provisions that governed conflict of interest and substitute counsel, constitutionally deficient representation, capital postconviction public records production, and the issuance of a warrant of execution. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that the challenged provisions of the Act did not facially violate the constitution.
