This bill amends federal habeas corpus law to clarify that death-sentenced individuals may seek federal court review based on newly discovered evidence that, combined with trial evidence, demonstrates they are probably not guilty. It creates an exception to restrictions on successive habeas petitions for death-sentenced applicants presenting such evidence and expands grounds for evidentiary hearings in capital cases where postconviction counsel was ineffective.
