DeVon J. Tucker v. United States

IFP petition · District of Columbia Court of Appeals, No. 22-CM-0482 · judgment July 8, 2025


Certiorari denied · April 20, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Whether the Due Process Clause is violated when a criminal defendant is impeached with selected portions of a body-wom-camera recording that he has never personally viewed, and whether the Rule of Completeness and the right to present a complete defense require that he be allowed to review or introduce the full recording where credibility is the sole determinant of guilt or innocence.

  2. Whether the District of Columbia Court of Appeals violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of due process when it affirmed petitioner’s conviction based on a factual assumption directly contradicted by the record—namely, that petitioner viewed the body-wom-camera video before trial.
