Questions presented

  1. Whether or not the Trial Judge erred in not having an on-therecord colloquy with the defendant outside the presence of the jury to enquire if the defendant wished to exercise his/her right to testify, or wished to affirmatively exercise a waiver that Constitutional right?

  2. Whether or not the refusal of a defendant's counsel of record to file for a Speedy Trial Violation and Pre-Indictment Delay Motions, while instructed to do so, precludes the defendant from asserting his right to file the Speedy Trial Violation Motion and constitutes a Constitutional Violation of his right to Due Process?

  3. Whether the defendant’s Due Process and Speedy Trial rights were violated when the government return two(2) indictments in two(2) separate Federal District Courts for the same underlying offense, at the same time using a summary of the Grand Jury transcript from the first indictment, testimony from the same witnesses, and informing the Grand Jury in both Districts as to the contents of proffers between the defendant and the government?
