New Orleans asks Supreme Court to take up Calvin Duncan case
Original: New Orleans wants the Supreme Court to weigh in on the Calvin Duncan case
The city of New Orleans is asking the US Supreme Court to review the case of Calvin Duncan, a well-known New Orleans figure who spent decades wrongfully imprisoned before his exoneration and who now works as a legal advocate for others. The city is seeking the high court's involvement after losing in lower courts, and the move is drawing attention given Duncan's prominence and the potential financial and legal stakes for the city.
Why now: The city's decision to escalate the long-running dispute to the Supreme Court is newsworthy because of Calvin Duncan's high profile as a wrongfully convicted man turned legal helper.
