Ronald Mickel v. United States
AdministrativeLaw DueProcess
Whether facts increasing statutory maximum must be pleaded and proven
QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Whether all facts — including the fact of a prior conviction — that increase a defendant’s statutory maximum must be pleaded in the indictment and either admitted by the defendant or proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt? II. Whether due process is violated when the defendant is indicted for, and convicted of, an offense that carries a statutory range of zero to ten years, and at sentencing the government seeks to apply enhanced statutory penalties that impose a fifteen-year mandatory minimum sentence? III. Whether Ohio’s domestic violence statute, which criminalizes both physical and nonphysical acts, is a violent felony under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)?
