Question One
The Constitution requires that a jury find every element of the crime
beyond a reasonable doubt. The district court, however, did not properly
instruct the jury concerning the intent elements of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), hence
the jury did not have an opportunity to render an accurate verdict.
Does an inaccurate jury instruction on an element of a crime violate due
process of law?

Question Two
The Constitution requires a jury to unanimously find every element of a
crime beyond a reasonable doubt before a court may punish an individual. This
Court, however, permits a court to determine punishment based on a lower
standard and allows a court to consider conduct for which a jury acquitted the
individual.
Does the Constitution allow a district judge to effectively nullify a jury
finding of acquittal?

Does an inaccurate jury instruction on an element of a crime violate due process of law?
