Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-682 TBD TBD TBD TBD OT 2017

Issue: (1) Whether a one-sentence allegation of fact in the background section of a prisoner"s state court brief can be sufficient to exhaust a novel and complex federal constitutional double jeopardy claim; and (2) whether it is unreasonable to conclude that double jeopardy does not bar retrial, when the Supreme Court has repeatedly indicated that double jeopardy does not apply if the trial court lacks the power to enter a verdict.
