This case presents two important nationwide issues. The first issue concerns an inappropriate application of a U.S. Supreme Court precedent and whether this court has the authority to enforce the supreme law of the land the U.S. Constitution when the lower Courts have failed to properly apply it to the facts of a case; and the second concerns an issue this Court has yet to set a controlling precedent for. This petition represented an opportunity for the Supreme Court to reestablish our Constitution, the best document ever written, as the supreme law of the land.

(1) Whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain his conviction, specifically, there was no physical evidence connecting Mr. Watkins to the crime scene and many of the witnesses were not credible. Jackson v. Virginia

(2) Whether Mr. Watkins was denied due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment when the trial court limited the testimony of Deborah Cox, a defense witness?

(3) Whether Mr. Watkins was denied effective assistance of counsel when trial counsel failed to adequately investigate the case, failed to interview witnesses who could have provided testimony favorable to his defense, trial counsel failed to: (1) call Clifford Parrish to testify, (2) properly cross-examine Deborah Cox, (3) object to detective Corey Wall's hearsay statement (4) call Lasohona Wooten to testify, and, (5) failed to consult and prepare him to testify at trial, denying him of his sixth and fourteenth amendment of The United States Constitution.

Whether the lower courts properly applied Supreme Court precedent and enforced the U.S. Constitution
