For sometime I have been meaning to post the search terms used to develop the weekly.  My hope is to get input on how to develop better terms and, hopefully, inspire a new blogger/e-zine writer to write in the area to better cover capital litigation.  Those terms are “DEATH PENALTY” OR “CAPITAL MURDER” OR “SENTENCED TO DEATH” OR “PENALTY PHASE” OR “SPECIAL QUESTIONS” OR “SENTENCE OF DEATH” OR “SENTENCED TO DEATH” OR “DEATH SENTENCE” Please note, however, the terms “overproduce” results, including all federal habeas corpus cases.
