Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the District Court improperly condone the prosecutor's profligate misconduct?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW (1) Did the District Court improperly condone the prosecutor’s profligate misconduct in not only failing to disclose to the defense before trial that a Government witness had been paid as an informant, but also by not correcting the informant’s false trial testimony that he received no money from the Government? (2) Did the District Court improperly disregard this Court’s precedents and condone the prosecutor’s profligate misconduct in not only presenting false testimony to the grand jury, but by vouching for the character and credibility of a dishonest government witness after discovering that he lied to the grand jury that Petitioner shot someone? (8) Were Petitioner’s 14t# Amendment due process rights violated when the prosecution constructively amended the indictment by presenting evidence of gun and ammunition manufacturing not alleged in the indictment, and was appellate counsel ineffective for not challenging the amendment? (4) | Was the evidence sufficient to support the “interstate commerce” element of the indictment, and did the lower courts properly apply the constitutional standard requiring proof of every fact necessary to support a criminal conviction beyond a reasonable doubt? (5) Was the Sixth Amendment violated regarding counsel’s communication of the Government’s pre-trial plea bargain? i
