PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellant, v. Brandon Lewis CAIN, Defendant–Appellee.
Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 2, 2014 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address whether the Court of Appeals erred in determining that the failure to properly swear the jury, even in the absence of a timely objection, is a structural error requiring a new trial.
The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issue presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
