“An applicant claiming actual innocence is not claiming that the evidence at trial was insufficient to support the conviction.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The guilty plea process is not perfect. But guilty pleas allow the parties to avoid the uncertainties of litigation. The decision to plead guilty, as we have seen in this case, may be influenced by factors that have nothing to do with the defendant’s guilt. The inability to disprove the State’s case, the inability to afford counsel, the inability to afford bail, family obligations, the need to return to work, and other considerations may influence a defendant’s choice to plead guilty or go to trial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Ex Parte Mello · Ex Parte Tomlinson“Convictions based on knowing, intelligent, and voluntary pleas of guilty ought to be afforded the highest level of respect. [[Image here]] If we have reason to think that an applicant’s plea was accurate and reliable, we would conclude that the claim would not support relief for actual innocence. But when a habeas record supports a finding that new evidence unquestionably established an applicant’s innocence, it is difficult to conclude that a prior guilty plea was accurate or reliable.”
