Question Presented (from Petition)
Tommy Lee Jones was convicted of advertising, distribution, and receipt of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2251(d) and 2252A(a)(2), and he was sentenced to 660 months' imprisonment. Jones now challenges both his convictions and sentence. Jones asserts that a new trial is necessary because the district court judge's comments and conduct during the trial denied him his right to a fair trial.
The question presented is this:
Has the District Court denied Mr. Jones a fair trial by allowing unsustained and unproven testimony into evidence.
