ATTENTION ALL POTENTIAL VICTIMS
United States v. Scott Yeager - Court Docket Number: 3-093-6
(Appeal-5th Cir. 06-20321) – Re-trial pending
On November 14, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court granted defendant Scott Yeager’s petition for a writ of certiorari. The issue is whether, under the collateral estoppel component of the Double Jeopardy Clause, the jury’s verdict that Yeager was not guilty on some counts at the first trial bars the government from retrying Yeager on other counts on which the jury was unable to reach a verdict. Subsequently, on November 20, 2008, Judge Gilmore entered an order staying the proceedings against Yeager pending the resolution of his case before the Supreme Court.
Oral Argument in this case is scheduled before the Supreme Court on March 23, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., but seating is limited and on a first come, first seated basis. Seating for the argument will begin at 9:30 a.m., and persons who wish to attend the argument will need to line up on the Front Plaza in front of the building.
