Edwards Last Resort

Former Governor Edwards and his son Stephen filed their appeal with the United States Supreme Court on Monday. The Advocate outlines the three grounds on which they are appealling: (1) violation of Sixth Amendment rights resulting from removal of juror; (2) violation of Sixth Amendment rights resulting from the anonymous jury; and (3) the government's failure to disclose "the long criminal history of deception and manipulation" of the informants in the case.
