U.S. Supreme Court Adds Two New Cases To Docket
In Hall v.
Florida, the Court will decide "whether the Florida scheme for
identifying mentally retarded defendants in capital cases violates Atkins v. Virginia”.
In Robers v.
United States, the Court “will rule on an issue regarding restitution as a
penalty for bank loan fraud”.
