The day has finally come. Scott’s Appellate Brief has been filed with the Supreme Court. The brief was filed July 5th, 2012. This document addresses the legal errors that occurred during the court proceedings against Scott. It is a big part of getting Scott’s conviction overturned.
The next step in the appeal process is for the State Attorney General’s office to respond to the brief. Eventually, oral arguments will be heard before the Supreme Court of California. The Court will then rule on the brief.
While this document only addresses legal error, our family is confident that it not only confirms that Scott is wrongfully convicted, but that it sheds light on his factual innocence.
Most of the brief is very easy to read. Please feel free to read all or parts of the brief by clicking on the link below.
