I saw that a while ago, General. Fortunately for Mr. Wilson, Gonzales and DOJ would have nothing to do with it. Habes initiate in the local district court (usually after State remedies have been exhausted) and are between the Inmate and the Warden of the Correctional Facility involved. Thus the case would be captioned Wilson v. (Warden) and would proceed from there to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and on to the US Supreme Court (should they choose to accept the case.) The DOJ and the US Attorney for the Northern District do not get involved.

In New York, the 62 District Attorneys have an agreement with the State Department of Correctional Services to Argue Habes on their behalf when a Petitioner is one of their particular defendants. I'm not sure how Georgia works it but I believe the State Attorney General's Office Argues Habes in their jurisdiction.

I've argued Habes on both sides, in the Southern District of NY and in the Second Circuit, and I've honestly never seen one that had merit. (Not that I'm paid to worry about merit.) This case HAS merit, from everything I've read of it, and would be a dream case to argue. Not exactly Clarence Darrow going South to argue for the Scottsboro boys, but a nice Constitutional Case nonetheless.
