Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit applied the wrong standard to the admission of perjured testimony that the government knew to be perjured, when it applied a “reasonable likelihood” standard instead of the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard required by this Court in Glossip v. Oklahoma, 145 S. Ct. 612 (2025).
