Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, in violation of Supreme Court precedents 1 erred by affirming federal convictions for non-criminal conduct and by denying an evidentiary hearing when unimpeachable, exonerating, newly discovered evidence proves "actual innocence."

2. When an actually innocent person is federally convicted of non-criminal conduct, is there no post-conviction remedy when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ignores or misinterprets multiple controlling Supreme Court precedents (See footnote 1) that would otherwise mandate vacating the wrongful convictions?
