Yes. As under appellate jurisdiction, US Supreme Court adjudicates questions of law and its application. The Court assumes facts established in the lower courts to be accurate and makes no judgment regarding evidence, guilt or innocence, or most procedural errors (unless the error results in violation of the petitioner's constitutional rights).
