- 2013-01-01
Summary
Question: (1) Did the Supreme Court's decision to reverse and remand the case bar further review of Williams' Sixth Amendment claim? (2) Did the Court's decision not to hear arguments on the second question in Williams' petition, regarding the Sixth Amendment issue, and not address the question in the opinion allow that question to be remanded for consideration by a lower court by default? Conclusion: Unanswered, unanswered. In a per curiam opinion, the Court reversed the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case for consideration of Williams' Sixth Amendment claim.
