Whether Mr. Dennis' conviction was obtained with insufficient evidence

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Reasonable jurists could find that the Courts have abused their discretion in accepting the jury's verdict even though the Record supports that Ronald Smith regularly carried firearms on his person and had previously severely beaten Mr, Dennis’ ex-girlfriend less than an hour before Mr. Dennis confronted him. 2. Reasonable jurists would determine that defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to require the Court to hold a hearing concerning the Batson objection prior to trial. 3. Reasonable jurists could argue that the appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the Issue of a Batson challenge during Appeal.
