“[D]ue process demands that some reasonable opportunity be given to defendants who make good faith efforts to file their claims in a timely manner and whose failure to comply with the rule is more a matter of form than substance.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Spera v. State · Phillips v. State“the trial court abused its discretion in striking the initial motion without granting leave to amend”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“He has not provided proposed testimony and does not even claim to have obtained an expert. . . . Without more specific factual allegations, such as proposed testimony, this claim is insufficient under Nelson . " Id. at 821-22. While this is not a unique finding, it is noteworthy that there is no discussion that the ultimate motion should have been denied with leave to amend the substantive deficiencies. It should also be noted that Bryant could be read as endorsing an expanded view of allowing amendments, but solely where the "failure to comply with the rule is more a matter of form than substance.”
