Jason Allen Jackson v. United States

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, No. 17-1059 · judgment November 26, 2018

Certiorari denied · June 24, 2019

Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 5%–12%)

Before the decision, about 1.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a petition filed soon after the judgment below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and an Eighth Circuit decision below.

Question presented

Whether the mere fact of a prior drug possession conviction is admissible to show knowledge and intent in a subsequent drug distribution prosecution.
