“Kuentzel’s new evidence destroys the prosecution’s case,” they wrote“to make it clear that any reasonable juror would likely have reasonable doubt” of Mr. Künzel’s guilt.
The court rejected his request for review without comment. In 2016, when Mr. Künzel appealed to the Supreme Court again, Mr Miz claimed in his own friend from the memo: “This court must allow for review and ensure that the compelling constitutional claims of a man who is most likely in fact innocent are allowed on the merits.”
The court again rejected the petition without comment, effectively depriving Mr. Künzel of his legal options. If he had not died, he would eventually have to be executed.
