William Kerr v. Michael Dittmann

WOOD, Chief Judge.

The last time William Kerr was before this court on appeal from the denial of his petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for relief from his conviction for murdering his wife’s lover, we found that he was entitled to an evidentiary hearing on issues surrounding an alleged plea offer from the state. See Kerr v. Thurmer, 639 F.3d 315 (7th Cir.2011). Before that hearing could take place, the Supreme Court vacated our judgment and remanded for reconsideration in light of Lafler v. Cooper, — U.S. —, 132 S.Ct. 1376, 182 L.Ed.2d 398 (2012). See Thurmer v. Kerr, — U.S. —, 132 S.Ct. 1791,…
