Will references the idea of a defendant having "a liberty interest in being moved from death row to prison." Would it not be more accurate --- and more elegant? --- to say a defendant has a "life interest" in that move? I believe there is considerable SCOTUS discourse about "life interest" in a capital clemency procedure case, Ohio Adult Parole Authority v. Woodard, 523 U.S. 272 (1998).
Shouldn't the title for the spinoff chit-chat podcast with material not relevant to the legal analysis be "Dicta"?
The real relief was the friends we made along the way.
