Question Presented (from Petition)

Did Mr. Bargo show that a violation of his rights occurred, pursuant to McCoy, when he explicitly entered a plea of not guilty and maintained his innocence throughout trial proceedings only to be undermined by veteran counsel who did not hold the State to its burden of proof of each and every element beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt?
