Keller is not the only one. As of mid-July eastern Kentucky had not acted on 23.5 percent of the motions to vacate, most of which were filed in 2008 or 2009. Other federal courts with similar or greater totals over the past five years resolved these with comparatively jet speed: all but 3.2 percent (western Kentucky); all but .01 percent (Kansas); all but 3.9 percent (western Oklahoma); all but 6.5 percent (eastern Michigan).
It may be that the federal court in the eastern Kentucky is poorly administered. Or it may be that the judges and magistrates have no compunction about violating the Constitutional rights of people who are victimized by a miscarriage of justice.
