Louis Antonio Zayas v. United States
Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
Whether the erroneous jury instruction on knowledge requirement constituted harmless error
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Should the Supreme Court grant certiorari to consider whether the erroneous decision of the Trial Court to instruct the jury that the United States was not required to prove Zayas’s knowledge that the individual to whom he delivered a controlled substance was pregnant constituted harmless error when the effect of said instruction was to grant a directed verdict in favor of the United States? 2. Should the Supreme Court grant certiorari to consider whether a disclosure by the United States of evidence favorable to Zayas on the final day of trial before the testimony of the final government witness constituted harmless error? ii
