Phillip Robinson v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 22-1472 · judgment March 9, 2023
Certiorari denied · October 2, 2023
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–9%)
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Question presented
Whether the Fifth and Sixth Amendments prohibit a federal court from basing a criminal defendant’s sentence on conduct for which a jury has acquitted the defendant.
