we'll proceed to the six case johnson versus winston inappropriate for them to come in just because the way they were dressed but i informed that that they should see the video and i think it would i'm not sure i understand why you were questioned because  appeal from a twelve b six dismissal so the issue is whether this is a purely legal question which is what the appellee say or whether there's a factual issue in the case should go forward now the position which is not exactly the same as the district courts position is that as a matter of law any fifth amendment claim involved at least involving confessions or statements accrues at the moment when the statement introduced in court and as a matter of law the introduction of the statement would not be impugn or they're not worried or a deprivation does not i fifth amendment claim now the appellee is acknowledge that this is not the way this court has treated those clients this court has treated fifth amendment claims on a kind of fact by fact or case by case basis and i certainly think that would be a better approach if there were to be any categorical approach it would be our position that the line should be drawn between the fourth amendment claims and the fifth amendment claims and for this reason definition involves deprivation of the liberty or deprivation of property which is something that one feels immediately upon being seized or behind having one's property taken and therefore cato the supreme court decided that those claims accrued at that moment of the seizure and that the judgments as to them or deprivation to not necessarily impugn the validity of any further convictions fifth amendment claims by definition are very different because in every fifth amendment claim it's not a claim by itself that one's liberties taken it's not a claim by itself that one's property at stake the claim is that government agents violated some rule or law and got  chavez it's meaningless it's not thing who cares if this statement is used in court and if it leaves your conviction it's a big big deal and it seems to me on that logic if you follow out johnson's statements in court there is a complicated procedural history and the statements are complicated and the intersection of the law is also complicated the first point i'd make to that is that's a good reason why he was not a great idea to dismiss this on twelve b six because essentially the judge was making a lot of factual determination the statements weren't so bad they didn't hurt him so year then was rearrested when certain people came forward and made statements against him those people without exception recounted what they had said to the police  and did so at trial so all that was left once you subtract the recantations which no jury no reason which reasonable juries might well to disbelieve were anthony johnson statements and prior written statements they denied them all they said they of course they said whatever ok one of them also his testimony wasn't very probative of by itself he said anthea come to him later and said we bust a move which could be in kind of there was i believe a pretrial motion to suppress before the first trial ok their denial that was not appeal and then that was left there ok i don't think that's of any particular significance there's no exhaustion remedy because the fact that it was an appeal generally speaking we're mostly suppressed fail on credibility determinations or with the defendant doesn't testify which often happens by the way because of the motions made more for discovery purposes i think else it's quite reasonable for appellate attorneys not to include those in and peele and in this case both appeals were successful the first one got a new trial because of jury confusion as the state of the law the second one which i did got in an acquittal on appeal for insufficient evidence of accountability correct right so it wasn't a statements based appeal no we don't i did not challenge the statement that i probably couldn't have because it had been litigated and not it and not and not raised on the first appeal however it is not true that mr it was a position of the defense that the statement was accurate in every respect in fact in one critical respect the idea that hugh drove the shooter away the actual shooter clayton sims appeared on his behalf at his trial and denied that he said anthony just drove away so the statement confession spending culpa terry state neither one of them are sort of devastating and i've done a lot of criminal cases and i can say that they're even devastating if they have exculpatory elements particularly because they constrain what you can do in terms of putting the defendant on absolute immunity well i think i would like to but i'm not sure i i understand it what they're saying is there's testimonial munity because the officers testified to the statements in court but if that was true then there can never be any fifth amendment claim because fifth amendment claims only accrue when they testify in court so if they didn't testify in court the confession wouldn't be using court and we'd lose or if they did testify i we'd lose because of testimony immunity i mean that is simply silly in our view that just means that there's no for the men claims because every time an officer testifies he has immunity that said i can't be the law but even if you a statute of limitations and they came back for trial you will have to contend with that issue and you're asking for an exception to testimonial immunity for fifth amendment claims correct i mean otherwise that amendment claims have no meaning and we will up and we will contend with that issue is there is there any support for such an exception well i don't think there's any support for the use of testimonial beauty to bar its management claim either i think it's a stretch as is the third argument which is that miranda claims by definition have no damages attached and therefore should be thrown out of court that basis of well neither of those claims was raised below they're both sort of i'd say  il mary passes to help out the district court because it wasn't raised below he didn't reach those issues if there's a rematch and they want to readdress those will certainly be happy to do that for the mere failure to provide for and warnings now to start i want to say first of all something we argue in our brief that i heard no response to just now which is that even on mr johnson's own what we argue is erroneous understanding of all as i was saying even on mr johnson's erroneous understanding that there would be no way to make any claim based out of the two thousand and seven trial timely and so off can find my comments this morning to the two thousand and twelve trial only now we argue for two reasons essentially that works and what wallace says is that if they claim is complete it accrues as soon as the claim is complete and if that at that moment there is no conviction as there was not here then it is impossible for to be heck part of that moment and then it will not second argument about whether miranda claims necessarily imply the invalidity of a conviction heck itself actually equates fourth amendment claims with self incrimination clause claims and we cite that heck footnote seven which cites arizona before  incrimination close claims should be treated the same this court's decision including the most recent decision which my opponent has not mentioned this morning and did not mention is opening brief and of course neglected to file a reply brief is until the murphy so hill actually says illinois as against us within two years of when that statement is use that period ran before mr johnson filed this complaint and the special limitations for his claim well the hill case split the difference there were three statements yes your honor there are three statements and as we explain in our brief two of them which are sort of the ordinary self incrimination clause case those are not hackbart the third is a statement which is sort of the aptest radius of the charge of false statement now that is precisely the sort of counterexample that heck itself offers heck says in footnote six as an example of a claim which would be hackbart a fourth amendment claim for excessive force where the crime of conviction is resisting arrest which under many state statutes resisting this third statement is very different because in order to succeed in proving that it was coerced in the civil case they would have been the gate and elements of the crime of conviction and that is why it is that part here is about the heck bar ekta further cruel of self incrimination clause claims only which is to say that other fifth amendment rights actually do receive different analysis and in fact this court's decision in more the burj splits the ecb ar position is not that these claims are are under wallace but rather that they immediately accrued because they are never barred so to clarify what we're all arguing for is a rule in which plaintiffs who feel who have a claim that their self incrimination cause rights were violated are able to sue immediately and have you know whatever the special imitations and for that for that jurisdiction is not that those claims are barred the problem is the converse rule because miranda claims are subject to harmless error analysis and we sort of play out this hypothetical in our brief if you have someone who's committing statement is introduced in a criminal trial and is deemed harmless error that's a person who we all apparently agree the miranda rights been violated adopting mr johnson's rule makes tech essentially a permanent bar against that right ever being vindicated wallace notes in footnote six that heck is not designed to produce an immunity so interpretation of the heck bar which makes it impossible to sue over miranda claims for some plaintiffs who have the violation is one that cannot be adopted how would damages be measured in that situation the harmless error situation you are right i believe in that case they'd probably be able to probably really only be able to get nominal damages in that and i want to get back to foreman on two just for a moment the position that i believe i heard mr johnson put forward to the court today was that every single confession because confessions are such powerful evidence every single confession would impugn the validity of every conviction in which it's introduced and just quickly i want to get to this more factually specific idea before i move on to testimony immunity which is just to correct something that my colleague said this morning there was additional corroborate and beyond just the impeachment by part of statements of swain rufus johnson in the second trial the admitted shooter testifies he's protected by double jeopardy at that point having been acquitted in the two thousand and seven trial and his state his testimony the johnson offers as his only defense witness entirely corroborate space lee everything that's in these statements and it's really quite powerful evidence to have the admitted shooter on the witness stand saying yes he drove me to the scene and yes he i told him to follow the car etc moving just to the testimony of immunity points our argument is that the claim here is based soley on the testimony and i acknowledge that in order to find that to be the case you do have to look to our fairly voluminous appendix which includes the entirety of the transcript of detectives less coal and detective winstead testimony and the reason for that is this the complaint says that the statements were used against him at trial and actually all three of mr johnson's appellate court criminal decisions note that there was no signed confession introduced at his trials but the issue that we're raising is that only came in through the detective's testimony there was no police report that came in and we spent some time in our brief distinguishing fabrication claim which is entirely different because it is a different kind a different constitutional right issue but the recent decision of a view of the city of milwaukee and the reason we spend some time distinguishing it is to say the testimony immunity applies from the can't claim is based solely on testimony as it is here that isn't to say that every miranda claim is going to be barred by testimony immunity in fact at least the illinois code court seems to think it's unusual for someone self incriminating statement to come in soley through the detective's testimony without anything signed or written by the criminal defendant and in the case where that evidence is introduced it won't just be based on testimony  conclusion that some statements are harmless and there's a clear is the odd statement or the some statements that would be harmless there are very rare but possible then in the case of those statements which are so is testimonial immunity the distinction raised between having an officer testify to an oral statement and having an officer testify to a written statement is frankly ridiculous you need
