How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a claim is without merit if petitioner “fails to show a reasonable probability that had the evidence been disclosed . . . , the result of the proceeding would have been different.”
- “Taking these vague and conclusory allegations together, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals determined that Boyd’s claim fell far short, on its face, of establishing either Strickland’s performance or prejudice prong.”
- “As for the first one — that Boyd’s own statement to police was suppressed — this is not Brady material. Boyd was obviously present during this questioning and thus aware of anything he may have said.”
- denying a claim for insufficiently detailed allegations
