Is Samuel Alito Catholic? What We Know About The Associate Justice Of The Supreme Court Of The U.S

Samuel Alito was the Supreme Court's 110th justice, the second Italian-American, the 11th Catholic in its history, and the Court's fifth Catholic when he was appointed.

An 8-member Court issued these decisions; none were 4–4; hence, Samuel would not have been the decisive vote if Alito had participated.

On May 1, 2006, Samuel issued his first written opinion in Holmes v. South Carolina, a case addressing criminal defendants' right to introduce evidence that a third party committed the crime.

He wrote for a unanimous court in ordering a new trial for Bobby Lee Holmes owing to a regulation in South Carolina that prohibited such evidence based on the strength of the prosecution's case rather than the relevance and strength of the defense evidence itself.

During his first term, Samuel also wrote majority opinions in Woodford v. Ngo, Zedner v. the US, and Arlington Central School District Board of Education v. Murphy.
