Hi, i have an assignment course legal research.

-the case of Curtis Jerome Byrd v Greg Skipper. What sort of relief is Mr. Byrd seeking on appeal? What is Mr. Byrd currently serving time in prison for? In what court was Mr. Byrd convicted in? What is the claimed legal error in the case? What are the key facts underlying Mr. Byrd's crime and subsequent conviction? What did Mr. Byrd's co-conspirator receive as a criminal penalty? What did Mr. Byrd's attorney insist on doing, to the detriment of his client? According to the Sixth Circuit, what do Wayne County prosecutors prefer? Trials or plea deals? According to footnote 3, what percentage of federal convictions in federal courts resulted from plea deals? How about state courts? What sort of legal defense did Mr. Barnett put on display for the jury? What does the Sixth Circuit say about this legal defense strategy?

What does the Sixth Circuit ultimately hold in the case? According to OTIS, is Mr. Byrd still locked up?
