What tenant of law says that a murder conviction vacates one's due process?
Sure the guy should have received the death penalty and been executed long before now, but that's just me.
Still, even though it's *after* the crime, he's using the legal system that as he should have before the crime.
Since Chambers did not respond to letters from the court, an arbitrator already has ruled in Durham's favor.
Despite the title of "arbitrator", most do not get make decisions without considering points of law.
Chambers had recourse and failed to use it. Had he done so, this might very well be a non-story.
