Habeas Corpus - Additional Media Coverage

Yesterday's Second Circuit ruling in Besser v. Walsh that the persistent felony offender statute is unconstitutional got some additional coverage yesterday and this morning.

Once again, DISCLOSURE/DISCLAIMER:  I am one of the attorneys in the case.  I am quoted here and there in these articles.

Here's an article in the the New York Post with the clever headline, "3 Strikes and You're Back Out.  Repeat Thug Law Nix."

Here's a small blurb from the Albany Times Union.

Here's an article entitled, "New York 'Three Strikes Law' Ruled Unconstitutional" on a site called "DNA Info - manhattan local news" that cuts and pastes bits from a couple of different articles.

And from other blogs:

Sentencing Law and Policy

The BLT: The Blog of the Legal Times

Here's the rest of the media coverage.
