Where a defendant's right to testify was violated
Questions Presented: 1 Where a defendant wasn't afforded the opportunity to testify, did the trial court or defense counsel violate a defendant's right to testify and present a comprehensive defense as protected by the 6th Amendment by neglecting to address and document a defendant's right to testify during the defense phase and subsequently after the State's case was reopened in an irregular : manner? . 5 2 Does instructing a jury to vote unanimously, effectively eliminating the possibility of a hung jury? 3 Does the untimeliness of an appeal outweigh clear injustices, and is there a standard in which courts should abide in determining when to ignore a claim and continue to allow justice to be denied, particularly in cases involving newly discovered evidence, actual innocence, and claims with constitutional magnitude? : : 1 y Il.
