Georgia Justice Project: Supreme Court Should Overturn Wrongful Murder Conviction

Last week I benched a moot court for the Georgia Justice Project.  That is, I played the part of a Georgia Supreme Court justice in a rehearsal for an oral argument.  Making the argument were Doug Ammar, the executive director of the project, and Tracey Ledbetter, of the Sutherland law firm.

Their client, Kareem Allen, is appealing a murder conviction.  The murder arose out of a crowded teenagers’ party.  Mr. Allen was one of four defendants charged with the murder.  The facts were confusing; there was a great deal of evidence.  But as to Mr. Allen,  the evidence boils down to not much.  Doug and Tracey are convinced of his innocence.

The argument was today.  They did a fine job.
