I'm not saying breh is innocent of the original charge.....but the line of thinking does make sense.
If you're maintaining your innocence (or that you were that your sentencing wasn't warranted compared to the act convicted on)........and you shouldn't even have been in prison in the first place, but now you've done something "awful" due to conforming to the prison lifestyle.....I can see the logic behind it basing an appeal around that.
Procedurally it doesn’t make any sense at all. They’re long past the appeals stage. If they’re filing a habeas petition based on actual innocence, it doesn’t matter if they’re on death row or not, the standard of review is the exact same. Theres a minor argument about counsel by right, and they may lose those lawyers, but I can see someone taking it up pro bono.
