A day before the calendar makes it official, the Supreme Court starts its December argument sitting this morning. Two cases being heard this week are interesting criminal matters, and here are the basics thanks to SCOTUSblog:
Van Buren v. United States (Nov. 30): Whether a person who is authorized to access information on a computer for certain purposes violates Section 1030(a)(2) of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act if he accesses the same information for an improper purpose.
Case preview: Justices to consider breadth of federal computer fraud statute (Ronald Mann)
Edwards v. Vannoy (Dec. 2): Whether the Supreme Court’s decision in Ramos v. Louisiana, holding that the Sixth Amendment establishes a right to a unanimous jury that applies in both federal and state courts, applies retroactively to cases that have already become final on direct review.
