Whether the appeals court conducted an adequate review of the district court's denial of a judgment of acquittal and the jury's decision to convict based upon the insufficient evidence presented at trial
question presented is as follows: Whether the appeals court conducted an adequate review of the district court’s denial of a judgment of acquittal and the jury's decision to convict based upon the insufficient evidence presented at trial. Because the proper weighing of the evidence and the application of the beyond reasonable doubt standard of review is of exceptional importance to the administration of justice in federal criminal cases, this Court should grant certiorari in this case to decide this question and, and upon review, should reverse the judgment of the Fifth Circuit. i a cD
