• holding that “Heck controls the outcome where a section 1983 claim implies the invalidity of the conviction or the sentence, regardless of the availability of habeas relief”
• holding that claims of a coerced confession, deprivation of a right to a fair trial and malicious prosecution all implicate the underlying criminal conviction and are therefore barred by Heck
• holding that Heck's favorable termination rule applies in all section 1983 cases that implicate \the validity of [a] conviction or the length of [a] sentence\ regardless of the availability of habeas relief
• holding that Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994) “controls the outcome where a section 1983 claim implies the invalidity of the conviction or sentence, regardless of the availability of habeas relief”
• holding that Heck’s favorable termination rule applies in all § 1983 cases that implicate “the validity of [a] conviction or the length of [a] sentence” regardless of the availability of habeas relief
• concluding that the plaintiff’s claims—which included that a claim that the defendants had coerced a false confession from him—necessarily implied the invalidity of his conviction because “[t]here [wa]s no logical way to reconcile those claims with a valid conviction”
