Alfred John McDonald v. United States
DueProcess
Whether McDonald's right to due process was violated
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether McDonald’s right to due process was violated when the drug quantity attributed to McDonald was based in part on vague ledgers, unrebutted evidence showed McDonald sold both marijuana and hemp, and the Government introduced zero evidence to show the amounts listed on the ledgers were marijuana rather than hemp? 2. Whether McDonald’s right to due process was violated when the drug quantity attributed to McDonald was based in part on a transaction in Oregon about which the Government introduced no evidence to show McDonald had control or involvement? 3. Whether McDonald’s right to due process was violated when his criminal history level was drastically increased as a result of purported relevant conduct, when the existence and relevant nature of such conduct was not supported by the evidence? 1
