Question presented
I. In the context of a structural error involving a public trial violation during jury selection, where no trial objection was made but the error was raised on direct appeal, must the Petitioner demonstrate prejudice to secure a new trial, or are they entitled to automatic reversal? II. Does the aggregation of drug sales to enhance the maximum sentence for drug Conspiracy and RICO Conspiracy conflict with this Court’s decision in Alleyne v United States?
