Tyler G. Williams v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 21-5856 · judgment July 6, 2022
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a Sixth Circuit decision below, and a petition citing one or two dissents.
Question presented
Whether the Constitution requires an indictment, jury trial, and proof beyond a reasonable doubt to find that a defendant’s prior convictions were “committed on occasions different from one another,” as is necessary to impose an enhanced sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1).
