Juan smith: "Court Ruling Reignites Debate Over Sharing Evidence." Helpful context from NPR.

STORY: "Court ruling reignites debate over sharing evidence," by Carrie Johnson, published by NPR on January 12, 2012.

GIST: "It's not every day that eight justices on the U.S. Supreme Court throw their weight behind a defendant convicted of busting into a New Orleans home, demanding drugs and money at gunpoint and leaving five dead bodies on the ground. But that's exactly what happened Tuesday in Washington, where nearly every member of the high court ruled that Juan Smith should get a new trial. Justice Clarence Thomas was the only dissenter. The case is bringing new attention to prosecutor misconduct and evidence-sharing lapses that led to the dismissals of other blockbuster convictions, including the corruption case against the late Alaska senator Ted Stevens."
