This document appears to be a page from a draft manuscript (dated 4.2.12) or memoir, likely by Alan Dershowitz (based on the context of the Tison v. Arizona case), produced as part of a House Oversight investigation. The text details the ethical conflict the author faced as the defense attorney for Ricky and Raymond Tison, balancing his duty to his clients against warnings from other anti-capital punishment lawyers that appealing to the Supreme Court could threaten the *Enmund* precedent. The page recounts the decision to file for certiorari and the subsequent anxiety when the Supreme Court granted review, signaling a potential reversal of favorable case law.
