This is how a guy ended up on death row:

Officials learned that an anonymous tip pointing police to Summerlin came from his wife, who said she had a psychic premonition. One of Summerlin's own lawyers admitted to an illicit "romantic encounter" with the prosecutor in the case that may have scuttled an ongoing plea agreement that was eventually dropped.

Additionally, the judge in the case lost his job after admitting to marijuana addiction and conviction.

Still, the only reason he is before the Federal Supreme Court is to decide whether Ring is retroactive.
