This is a Notebook LM review of a June 2025, United States Supreme Court opinion concerning a death-row inmate, Ruben Gutierrez, and his challenge to Texas's DNA testing procedures. Gutierrez, convicted of capital murder, seeks DNA testing of crime scene evidence, believing it will prove his innocence of the death penalty. The Court's majority opinion, delivered by Justice Sotomayor, reverses a Fifth Circuit decision, holding that Gutierrez has standing to bring his Due Process Clause claim against the district attorney who denied his requests. Justice Barrett's concurrence agrees with the reversal but expresses concern about the majority's use of relaxed redressability standards. Justices Thomas and Alito's dissents argue that Gutierrez lacks standing and criticize the Court's intervention, contending that the asserted "liberty interest" in post-conviction procedures is not constitutionally protected and contributes to lengthy delays in capital cases.
