Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Third Circuit erred, in conflict with decisions of the Second
and Ninth Circuits, when it held that this Court's decision in United States v.
Powell , 469 U.S. 57 (1984), precludes consideratio n of the jury's other verdicts when
conducting harmless error review.

2. Whether the Third Circuit erred, in conflict with decisions of other
circuits, in holding that AEDPA requires factual deference to a state court noprejudice finding that did not apply federal prejudice standards.

3. Whether this case sh ould, at a minimum, be held for this Court's decision
in No. 20-826, Brown v. Davenport , which presents related issues concerning the
interaction between AEDPA and federal pr ejudice standards on collateral review.
