概要

Case Summary:

A Maryland jury convicted Jeremiah Sweeney of second-degree murder and related offenses after he fired shots during an argument over stolen marijuana, missing his intended targets but killing a bystander about 75 yards away. During trial, one juror independently visited the crime scene, and after this was disclosed, the parties agreed to dismiss that juror and continue deliberations with 11 jurors, which led to Sweeney’s convictions being affirmed on direct appeal and the denial of state postconviction relief. Sweeney then sought federal habeas relief, arguing only that his trial counsel was ineffective under Strickland v. Washington for failing to seek voir dire of the entire jury to determine whether any other juror had been tainted by Juror 4’s unauthorized visit. The Supreme Court reversed the Fourth Circuit’s grant of habeas relief and remanded, holding that the court of appeals violated the principle of party presentation by awarding relief on a claim Sweeney had never asserted.
