Shelly Margaret Arndt v. Washington
When a state court evidentiary ruling impinges on the constitutional rights of a factually innocent person, does the fundamental miscarriage of justice doctrine require this Court to protect the petitioner from unlawful incarceration? This case calls for Supreme Court review to prevent a fundamental miscarriage of justice to one who is factually innocent especially when critical, relevant, reliable, and scientific evidence was wrongfully excluded by the lower court evidentiary ruling.
