DeVon J. Tucker v. United States
IFP petition · District of Columbia Court of Appeals, No. 22-CM-0482 · judgment July 8, 2025
Questions presented
-
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.
-
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.
