Abstract

Part II of this Note sets forth the history behind the Apprendi decision, the Court's rationale, and Apprendi's impact on prior Supreme Court decisions. Part III argues against the new rule's applicability to felony drug convictions on collateral review. Part IV describes the common law and statutory restrictions that should preclude prisoners from invoking this new procedural rule on collateral attack.
