Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether and to the extent the criminal justice system tolerates false testimony and false information relied upon by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED ; Mr. Barnes case raises a pressing issue of national importance: Whether and to what extent the criminal justice system tolerates false testimony on the part of government agents and false information relied upon that is not in the trial record on part of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of Judicial Proceedings. . Specifically, did the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Court impose an improper and unduly burdensome (C.O.A.) standard that contravenes this Court’s precedent? By denying Mr. Barnes a (C.O.A.) on his 2255 Motion to Vacate, that his appellate counsel was constitutionally ineffective for: ~ ; 1. Not raising the denial of Motion for Judgement of Acquittal at the end of all the evidence. 2. Not raising the denial of Motion to Suppress Evidence, and ; 3. Whether petitioner overcame the procedurally barred rule for not raising the insufficiency of evidence on direct appeal in light of (Jackson v. Virginia n.d.) by demonstration of cause and prejudice or factual innocence. ;
