Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED * Were my rights to due process of law under the Fifth Amendment and Section | of the Eighth Amendment prejudiced when the Circuit Court for the City of Charlottesville failed to conduct inquiry concerning pre-trial claims of Ineffective Counsel, when the court failed to conduct inquiry following my request for new Counsel just prior to trial and/or when Counsel refused to conduct preliminary hearing? * Was there a conflict of interest, and did prejudice arise from this conflict when Defense Counsel Holly Vradenburgh allowed the Commonwealth's Attorney’s request that she consider the witness’s comfort, to influence her decision to refuse conducting preliminary hearing on my behalf, and was denied effective assistance of Counsel?
