Roger Paul Bradford v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, No. 23-2240, 23-2517 · judgment August 20, 2024
Certiorari denied · February 24, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–8%)
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eighth Circuit decision below, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).
Question presented
Whether an indictment that alleges conduct outside the reach of a criminal statute precludes a district court from exercising jurisdiction to adjudicate guilt.
