Shaun Michael Farrington v. United States
FourthAmendment CriminalProcedure Privacy
Whether the Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury is impacted when circumstances indicate implied bias but the court allows the juror to sit because they proclaimed they can be impartial?
Question Presented 1. The circuit courts divide regarding Smith v. Phillips implication of implied bias. This Court should decide whether the Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury is impacted when circumstances indicate implied bias but the court allows the juror to sit because they proclaimed they can be impartial? 2. The vehicle exception of the Fourth Amendment allows officers to seize and search the contents of a vehicle without a warrant if probable cause exists. This Court needs to decide whether to extend the vehicle exception to allow officers to conduct an additional warrantless search of the contents of a vehicle after the traffic stop is completed and an initial search was completed? ii
