⚖ Oral Arguments, with Context

Charles Eubanks asks the Ninth Circuit to reverse the denial of four claims in his federal habeas case challenging Nevada murder, attempted-murder, and attempted-robbery convictions. Federal habeas lets a state prisoner challenge custody that violates federal law. Eubanks says prosecutors withheld evidence that could impeach jailhouse witnesses and his lawyers mishandled plea offers, accomplice liability, and sentencing. Under Brady, prosecutors must disclose favorable evidence when its suppression could affect the result. Nevada says the witnesses were already heavily impeached, the remaining evidence was strong, and Eubanks cannot overcome procedural bars or show prejudice.
