Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Tennessee's burglary statutes are generic

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether Tennessee’s burglary statutes are generic where the State can obtain a conviction by proving only attempted burglary because the element of “entry” is satisfied by a mere showing of the use of an instrument in an attempt to make entry. 2. Whether the judgment below should be vacated and the case remanded for reconsideration in light of Rehaif v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 2191 (2019), where what is now an essential element of the § 922(g) crime was not pled and Mr. Hall made an unknowing and therefore, involuntary plea. ii
