Should Petition Womack's conviction be vacated?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Because this Court’s recent pronouncement in Ruan v. United States, 20-1410 applies to 21 U.S.C. § 856(a)(1) prosecutions involving health care professionals, and the jury was instructed on an “objective good faith” basis of liability, should Petition Womack’s conviction be vacated? 21 U.S.C. § 856(a)(1) makes it a crime to knowingly “use” a “place” “for the purpose of’ distributing a controlled substance. Is this plain language unconstitutionally vague, as pharmacists and other health care professionals violate this language in their usual practice without committing an “illegal” act? ii RELATED CASES Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 14.1(b) (ii), Petitioner submits the following cases which are directly related to this Petition: United States v. Cynthia Clemons Sixth Circuit Case No. 20-6427 (decided 4.11.22) United States v. Courtney Newman Sixth Circuit Case No. 20-6428 (decided 4.11.22) ili
