Whether the Sixth Amendment permits criminal-defense-counsel to unilaterally-concede-guilt,

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Sixth Amendment permits criminal defense counsel to unilaterally concede his client’s guilt before the jury at trial—over the defendant’s objection—so long as counsel reserves at least one element of the offense, however innocuous and incontestable that element may be, thereby avoiding this Court’s edict in McCoy v. Louisiana, 138 S. Ct. 1500 (2018). 2. Whether criminal defense counsel’s unilateral concession of guilt to one or more key elements of a criminal offense at trial—over the defendant’s objection—is a constitutionally and_ ethically permissible trial strategy within the meaning of the Court’s ineffective assistance of counsel jurisprudence, and whether the prejudice flowing from such a concession can be measured.
