Lecram Omari Sanders v. Virginia

Whether the Supreme Court of Virginia erred in affirming the judgment of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, which affirmed the defendant’s convictions in the Circuit Court of the City of Hampton, Virginia, where the Circuit Court erred in denying defendant’s Motion To Set Aside Verdict And For New Trial and Supplemental Motion To Set Aside Verdict And For New Trial (On After-Discovered Evidence Grounds), on the grounds, inter alia, that the Circuit Court’s denial of a new trial deprived the defendant of a fair and “impartial jury” trial under the Sixth Amendment and to fundamental fairness and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.
