Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Does gross negligence on the part of the State satisfy the intent
requirement as set forth in Oregon v. Kennedy, 456 U.S. 667 (1982) so that
double jeopardy attaches following defendant's motion for mistrial?

2. Can a defendant who has been found to be competent to stand trial
and presents only marginal mental health concerns be denied the right to
self-representation as described by this Court in Faretta v. California, 422
U.S. 806 (1975)?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does gross negligence satisfy the intent requirement for double jeopardy?
