Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Sixth Amendment right to confront accusers applies to revocations of federal supervised release based on historical understanding of jury rights in recognizance forfeitures

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Historical documents showing that the Framers would have understood the jury right to apply to forfeitures of recognizance, a proceeding similar to revocations of supervised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 S. Ct. 2369 (2019), be expanded to hold that the Sixth Amendment, including the right to confront accusers, applies to all revocations of federal supervised release?
