Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1, Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, in violation of Supreme Court precedents! erred by affirming federal convictions for non-criminal conduct and by denying an evidentiary hearing when unimpeachable, exonerating, newly discovered evidence proves “actual innocence.” 2. When an actually innocent person is federally convicted of non-criminal conduct, is there no post-conviction remedy when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ignores or misinterprets multiple controlling Supreme Court precedents (See footnote 1) that would otherwise mandate vacating the wrongful convictions? 1 Ex Parte Bain, 121 US. 1 (1887) lack of subject matter jurisdiction; Williams v United States 327 U.S. 711, 717-718, 90.L.Ed. 962 (1946) : -improper “borrowing” of state law to rescue an otherwise failed federal criminal prosecution; Calder v Bull 1 L.Ed. 648, 3 Dall 386, 390 (1798), et al. . -Ex Post Facto Clause (Art.
