Share
Petition for certiorari denied on February 24, 2014
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
13-593 Minn. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2013

Issue: Whether Evans v. Michigan – which held that a finding of insufficient evidence precludes retrial under the Double Jeopardy Clause even if the finding is based on a legally erroneous analysis – or the cases cited in Evans, overruled Lockhart v. Nelson's holding that a post-trial finding of insufficient evidence only precludes retrial under the Double Jeopardy Clause if it is based on a face-value assessment of all the evidence admitted, not just the evidence properly admitted.
