Second Circuit -- Rivera v. Cuomo

Rivera v. Cuomo

Successful collateral attack on conviction - since the caselaw changed between conviction and the date the conviction became final, habeus granted.

(In the interval, recklessness became a clear element of NY depraved indifference murder.)
Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
