Congrats to Shawn Armbrust and the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project on a big win in federal court yesterday. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia threw out the 2001 murder conviction of Michael Hash, holding that the state had failed to turn over deals it had cut with States’ witness, and that Hash’ attorneys had been ineffective. The 64-page decision is here. News account of the case here.
