Bomani's lawyers filed this petition for an En Banc re-hearing of his appeal. His appeal was heard by three judges from the US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. If the En Banc petition is accepted, all sixteen judges will hear and vote on the arguments.
This is the petition filed by Keith's lawyers.
Staughton and Alice Lynd also filed an amicus memorandum supporting the request for an En Banc hearing.
This is their request for leave to file it.
This is the memorandum itself.
The Lucasville Uprising was a rebellion against oppressive and racist policies at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville, OH. Nine inmates and one guard died during the uprising in April of 1993. Today, many people are serving time or condemned to death by the state of Ohio in relation to the uprising. We demand amnesty for all of these inmates. The conditions at SOCF were (and still are) intolerable and unconscionable.
