Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether a defendant whose conviction was final before Ramos v. Louisiana, but who is still on direct appeal from resentencing, is entitled to the benefit of the Ramos rule
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
Question Presented Under Griffith v. Kentucky, new rules apply to all defendants whose cases are “pending on direct review or not yet final.” Petitioner was convicted in 1996 by a nonunanimous jury—contrary to this Court’s recent decision in Ramos v. Louisiana—for a crime he committed when he was 16 years old, but in 2018, his life sentence was vacated. As Petitioner is still on direct appeal from resentencing, is he entitled to the benefit of the holding in Ramos? -i
