Whether the Sixth Amendment and Article III create a jury right for federal supervised release revocation proceedings when new crimes are alleged
QUESTIONS PRESENTED IL Historical documents show that the Framers would have understood the jury right to apply to forfeitures of recognizance, a proceeding similar to revocations of supervised release in form, function, and purpose. In light of this historical record, should this Court’s holding in United States v. Haymond, 139 8. Ct. 2369 (2019), be expanded to hold that the Sixth Amendment, including the right to a trial by jury, applies to all revocations of federal supervised release? II. Does Article III, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, which guarantees that “all Crimes” shall be tried by jury, create an additional jury right for revocation proceedings when revocation is based on an allegation that the supervisee committed new crimes?
