Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Where a jury returns a final verdict on a charge of conspiracy, finding a defendant guilty of only one of multiple charged offense objects, is the government barred from reinitiating the prosecution as to charged conspiratorial objects on which the jury did not convict? 2. Does the government’s repeated use of an antisemitic cultural reference to prejudice the Jewish petitioner at trial warrant any form of relief in the federal courts if the government asserts on appeal the lack of bad intentions by the two prosecutors who employed the antisemitic character theme to obtain petitioner’s conviction? i INTERESTED PARTIES There are no parties interested in the proceeding other than those named in the caption of the case. ii
