The article is new, DYK nom by due date. Long enough at over 3700 characters. Earwig's copyvio detector: violation unlikely. The article is interesting, well written, sourced. QPQ done. The hooks proposed have two issues. @Notecardforfree:: [1] isn't the hook referring to the United States law, and should the hook state so to avoid confusing readers outside the US? if it applies to other jurisdictions, the article should discuss those countries and the hook revised appropriately. [2] can you please mention/discuss the "challenge your conviction" etc part, with a reliable source, somewhere in the article, to make the hook acceptable? Thanks.

- @Ms Sarah Welch: Thank you very much for your thorough review. I apologize for not responding earlier; I haven't had much time to check back with Wikipedia the last two weeks. In any event, I changed the hooks to indicate that the hooks are referring to United States law. With respect to your second question, the article explains that individuals convicted under state law cannot challenge their conviction by petitioning for a writ of habeas corpus if they do not first exhaust state court remedies by filing a petition for review in state court:
"Because United States habeas corpus law requires petitioners for writs of habeas corpus to have exhausted state court remedies if they were convicted by a state court, habeas petitioners must first file a petition for review in the highest court in the state in which they were convicted, and raise all applicable issues, before filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus in federal court."
- I cite to this article in the Seattle Journal of Social Justice to support the aforementioned information. Thanks again for your help with this review. and please let me know if there is anything else that you think needs to be done with this article.
