Dixon v. Williams

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s habeas petition that challenged his murder conviction on ground of actual innocence. Dist. Ct. could properly find that defendant failed to meet high burden of proof that no reasonable juror could have convicted him based on evidence in record. Moreover, result is same even though defendant presented evidence that police officer was physically abusive to other individuals, where jurors could find that officer was liar and abusive to others, but that defendant had actually committed charged offense and had actually confessed to charged offense.
