Pro Bono Litigation Service
- Served as co-lead counsel in federal habeas proceedings, including evidentiary hearings and leading cross-examinations, that challenged our client's capital murder conviction and death sentence. The case received national attention and media coverage because it detailed an extensive drug ring involving suburban upper-middle-class youths in Northern Virginia, an alleged murder plot and the Commonwealth's most experienced prosecutors seeking the death penalty. After federal appellate and district court habeas proceedings, the federal district court judge issued an opinion covered nationally that vacated the conviction and death sentence of our client, finding that the government violated fundamental Brady and Giglio obligations, and citing in the opinion multiple examples identified during cross-examination.
