Eduardo Luciano v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 24-1251 · judgment September 30, 2025


Certiorari denied · April 20, 2026

Question presented

A. Were Defendant's Sixth Amendment right to an unbiased jury viol­ ated as-applied to him where a juror was questioned after voir dire under "voir-dire-like" conditions but Defendant was not allowed to use an available peremptory strike, as the govern. . ment has not and cannot prove a "historical analogue" to only allowing for-cause strikes after voir dire? Defendant answers "yes". B. Did the District Court abuse its discretion by failing to strike a juror for cause during voir dire who lied during voir dire and failed to correct her lie during a subsequent defacto reopening of voir dire, and whose explanation was simply scientifically implausible? Defendant answers "yes". LIST OF PARTIES All Parties appear in the caption of the case on the cover page.
