Question presented

Was the Evidence Insufficient to Find that Petitioner Craig Muller Had Anything to Do with the Death of Gilbert Hendricks, Jr.? Must Verdicts be Unanimous When Tested by the Jury Poll? Did the District Court Err in Refusing to Give a Voluntary Manslaughter Jury Instruction? Does Justice Require that Petitioner be Granted a New Trial?
