Pike v. Gross
Petition for certiorari denied on June 8, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether a defendant who asserts that trial counsel failed to present key evidence is precluded from
showing prejudice under Strickland v. Washington, unless the evidence omitted at
trial differs substantially in subject matter from the
evidence actually presented; and (2) whether the Eighth and 14th Amendments prohibit condemning to death a defendant who
was 18 years old at the time of the offense.
