New Orleans asks Supreme Court to hear Calvin Duncan case
Original: New Orleans wants the Supreme Court to weigh in on the Calvin Duncan case
New Orleans is asking the US Supreme Court to take up its long-running legal fight with Calvin Duncan, a New Orleans man wrongfully convicted in the 1980s and later exonerated. The city is seeking review of lower court rulings in his favor, and the justices' decision on whether to hear the dispute is being watched closely.
Why now: The case could set a precedent on city liability for wrongful convictions, and the Supreme Court petition puts it back in the spotlight.
