Noting a few notable cert denials

Writing in the Christian Science Monitor, Warren Richey has two effective articles discussing notable cases with sentencing dimensions which the Supreme Court refused to take up this week:

• Supreme Court rejects Massachusetts felons' voting rights challenge

• Refused by Supreme Court: Is death row inmate mentally retarded?

I think it may be only a matter of time before the Justices get variations of one or both of these issues on their docket. But not this Term, it seems.
