Sari Alqsous v. United States

Whether the Sixth Circuit erred in analyzing ruling that Petitioner was not entitled to be present during the Charge Conference under Fed. R. Crim. P. 43 and the lack of transcripts from the weekend Charge Conference violated his Confrontation Clause and Due Process rights. Whether, under this Court’s holding in McDonnell, Dr. Alqsous is a Public Official who violated the Hobbs Act and had the requisite mens rea to be found guilty of conspiracy charges. Whether the sentence imposed creates an intra-circuit split with respect to how the quantum of harm is calculated for purposes of sentencing.
