WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear the case of Crosley Green, a 65-year-old Florida man who has steadfastly fought for more than three decades to prove his innocence following his wrongful conviction by an all-white jury for a 1989 murder in Titusville, Florida. Green will be joined by his family and legal team at a press conference at 1:30 pm Monday, Feb. 27, at the Holiday Inn – Kennedy Space Center in Titusville (details below). Also speaking will be Kenneth Nunn, law professor at University of Florida, and two men who were also wrongfully convicted by Brevard County, Fla. prosecutors in the 1980s.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear R.J. Reynolds' appeal of a lower court ruling upholding Los Angeles County's law prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products. This decision is a tremendous victory for kids and public health. It allows Los Angeles County's law to remain in effect, while also preserving the authority of states and localities across the country to enact similar lifesaving measures. R.J. Reynolds and other tobacco companies have desperately fought these laws so they can continue to target kids, Black Americans and other communities with flavored products, including flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear R.J. Reynolds' appeal of a lower court ruling upholding Los Angeles County's law prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products.
  • It allows Los Angeles County's law to remain in effect, while also preserving the authority of states and localities across the country to enact similar lifesaving measures.
  • This decision is a rejection of Reynolds' argument that the Los Angeles County law and similar state and local laws are preempted by the federal Tobacco Control Act.
  • Today's announcement follows the Supreme Court's decision in December to deny Reynolds' request for an emergency injunction to block California's statewide law ending the sale of most flavored tobacco products.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100 prominent law professors, former state-court judges, current and former prosecutors, and others filed amicus briefs Thursday to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case of Crosley Green, an innocent man who was wrongfully convicted of a 1989 Florida murder. If the High Court does not accept Green's case, he could be ordered to return to prison after serving 32 years for a crime he did not commit.

Key Points: 
  • Green's case raises novel questions for the Court about federalism, protections for criminal defendants afforded under the Brady doctrine, and key procedural matters in post-conviction appeals.
  • In a brief filed by current and former prosecutors, signatories wrote: "Amici appreciate the challenging judgments prosecutors must often make under Brady, having made those calls themselves many times.
  • Indeed, our system of government rests on the idea that states—and, particularly, state courts—are essential players in the Constitutional order."
  • The Supreme Court's decision on Green's petition could have far reaching repercussions for all criminal defendants in the United States.
