Pamela Smart Files Habeas Corpus Petition Over Life Sentence

Pamela Smart filed a habeas corpus petition in New York and New Hampshire on Monday to overturn her conviction for orchestrating her husband's murder.Her legal team, including Jason Ott and Matthew Zernhelt, argues that pervasive media coverage and inaccurate transcripts during the 1990 trial violated her constitutional rights.The move follows Kelly Ayotte rejecting a sentence reduction request seven months ago and the recent release of Dirceu Semedo under a Massachusetts ruling.
