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 defendant’s statements made to his cellmate were admissible because the evidence established that the cellmate contacted authorities of his own accord after the defendant bragged about his crimes
  • holding Brady claim meritless where only indication of existence of basis to impeach prosecution witness was “offered in the form of pure speculation”
  • rejecting claim that appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to appeal trial court denial of a motion for continuance and concluding that claim \would have been deemed meritless on appeal\
  • “[T]he police may not sidestep constitutional protections by employing jail residents as independent contractors to interrogate defendants without the presence of an attorney.”
