Whether a federal court must defer to a state's highest appellate court's 'least culpable' interpretation of a state crime and follow this Court's directions in United States v. Taylor when conducting a categorical analysis to determine if that state crime is a violent crime under the Armed Career Criminal Act

QUESTION PRESENTED Where a state’s highest court endorses two versions of the elements of a state crime and neither version has been overruled or abrogated, whether a court of appeals must defer to a state’s highest appellate court’s “least culpable” interpretation of that state’s law, and whether a federal court must follow this Court’s directions in United States v. Taylor, 596 U.S. 845 (2022), when conducting a categorical analysis to determine if that state crime is a violent crime under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(1). 1
