Question Presented (from Petition)
1) Whether this Court should grant Certiorari to address whether a
trial judge, when requested by defense counsel, must voir dire on
implicit or unconscious bias such that its refusal to so do is an
abuse of discretion which violates an accused's Sixth Amendment
right to an impartial jury.
2) Whether this Court should grant Certiorari to address a conflict
between the Circuits as to whether newly available evidence,
which previously had been unavailable due to the invocation of a
valid privilege, may be sufficient to establish "newly discovered
evidence" under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure.
