Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Where a jury returns a final verdict on a charge of conspiracy, finding a
defendant guilty of only one of multiple charged offense objects, is the government
barred from reinitiating the prosecution as to charged conspiratorial objects on which
the jury did not convict?

2. Does the government's repeated use of an antisemitic cultural reference
to prejudice the Jewish petitioner at trial warrant any form of relief in the federal
courts if the government asserts on appeal the lack of bad intentions by the two
prosecutors who employed the antisemitic character theme to obtain petitioner's
conviction?
