GEORGE CAMERON SEWARD v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Appeals, Adkins, Filed Jan. 27, 2016,
Writ of Actual Innocence – Grant of a Writ of Actual Innocence is not an appealable final judgment

When an employer’s records showed that the convicted rapist was at work that day, writ of actual innocence was granted. Not DNA. Not video tape. Employment records from a dog grooming shop. Yeah.

Writ of Actual Innocence – Denial of a Writ of Actual Innocence is an appealable final judgment “because the order forecloses the right to raise a claim of actual innocence based on a particular piece of evidence”
