For people who are interested in the law, can you help me understand the Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act?

Asked by GoldieAV16 (5403points) April 6th, 2012

Especially as it pertains to the case of Shirley Ree Smith, who was granted clemency by Governor Brown today. I am having a hard time understanding how this law worked (or didn’t work) in her case. Any additional thoughts on the case, the 9th Circuit Ruling, the Supreme Court decision, or the clemency are welcome.
