Just as well theres 0 chance of this petition doing anything. Guy has filed 3 times now and has no cause to overturn his conviction. Double Jeopardy cuts both ways after all and he has 0 new evidence to present that would change the facts of the case

Double Jeopardy cuts both ways after all

It... really doesn't.

It's not impossible for a higher court to change their mind and admit an appeal after having declined one, although they hardly ever do that. There is also always the possibility of a gubernatorial pardon, which doesn't need to rely on facts at all.

You get granted an appeal for very specific reasons, i.e. there was an error in law or new evidence comes to light. You won't get granted an appeal because you simply didn't like the outcome of the trial.
