Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Did the Sixth Circuit err by ruling that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Petitioner's allegations of fraud upon the court and ethical and due process violations by the government when evaluating his double jeopardy claim?
2. When the government commits fraud upon an appellate court in securing reversal of a post-trial judgment of acquittal and reinstatement of a jury verdict, and that verdict is later set aside, can the defendant rely on the initial acquittal to invoke the protections of the Double Jeopardy Clause and bar a second trial?
