Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Mr. Coulter's Sixth Amendment rights were violated

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether Mr. Coulter’s Sixth Amendment rights were violated by the fact that the jury deliberations became publically known on how the jury was divided numerically, and the coercion of one juror to ultimately change her “No” to the verdict to guilty on counts 1 and 2. The United States court of appeals entered a decision that has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings as to call for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory power. 2. Whether the Tenth Circuit erred in failing to find plain error and a denial of due process under the Fifth Amendment due to the prosecutorial misconduct that occurred in Mr. Coulter’s trial when the prosecutor intentionally elicited hearsay testimony of two different murders. -ii
