Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment and presented to a grand jury in the usual way, violate the petitioner's fundamental right of Equal Protection of the Law to be tried by an impartial jury given the court admissible evidence to be entered at trial?

Was petitioner deprived of his fundamental right of Equal Protection of the Law, with the undersigned respondent (the first state official) as the court took elements from one indictment to form another distinct offense? Guideline

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the Due Process Clause require any charging element being in the indictment and presented to a Grand Jury?
