I am not so sure. Yes, they can file a writ of habeas corpus, but the Court may deny it. It was unusual for SCOTUS to overturn state convictions unless there is a violation of conditions covered in the Constitution, but getting more common.

Federal authority overruling states? Hummmm

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - But they did not prosecute for violation of any Federal law.

MSG Stan Hutchison - great idea. It did take a federalist statue to bump the misdemeanor state crime, that had run the statute of limitations to bring alive a dead allegation.
