Question presented

Whether a criminal defendant’s constitutional rights guaranteed by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment to testify in her own defense are violated during sentencing by the application of a two-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3Cl. l for obstruction of justice when the enhancement is applied by the District Court simply because the jury did not believe a defendant’s testimony.
