Question presented
This case presents a question also raised in the petition for a writ of certiorari filed September 15, 2017, in R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. Graham, No. 17-415: When there is no way to tell whether a prior jury found particular facts against a party, does due process permit those facts to be conclusively presumed against that party in subsequent litigation?
