Kelly v. McCarley
Petition granted, judgment vacated and case remanded for further consideration in light of Davis v. Ayala on June 29, 2015
Issue: (1) What standards a federal habeas court should apply when reviewing a state court's determination that a constitutional error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt under Chapman v. California; and (2) whether the Sixth Circuit erred by granting habeas relief based on its de novo review of the habeas petitioner’s claim and on its “grave doubts” over whether the alleged constitutional error influenced the jury's verdict.
