Next week's criminal law/procedure arguments

Saturday, April 20, 2019

Issue summaries are from ScotusBlog, which also links to papers:

Tuesday

• Rehaif v. U.S.: Whether the “knowingly” provision of 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2) applies to both the possession and status elements of a § 922(g) crime, or whether it applies only to the possession element.
• Mitchell v. Wisconsin: Whether a statute authorizing a blood draw from an unconscious motorist provides an exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement.

Wednesday

• Quarles v. U.S.: Whether Taylor v. United States’ definition of generic burglary requires proof that intent to commit a crime was present at the time of unlawful entry or first unlawful remaining, as two circuits hold; or whether it is enough that the defendant formed the intent to commit a crime at any time while “remaining in” the building or structure, as the court below and three other circuits hold.
